Senior Joe Hinrichs capped his career in the Southern Nebraska Conference as a four-time medalist Saturday afternoon, as Hinrichs pinned his way to the 160-pound weight class title, as the Mustangs lone medalist in the 2021 SNC championship meet Saturday, Jan. 30 in Wilber.
Hinrichs won SNC runner-up titles in the 126-pound class as a freshman and in the 152-pound class as a sophomore, before gaining back-to-back championship titles with his gold medal run Saturday in Wilber, as Hinrichs claimed gold in the 152-pound class a season ago.
In his three matches on the mats this season, Hinrichs scored 24 of the Mustangs’ 27 team points.
He opened with a 43-second pinfall win over Ty Cummings of David City, before gaining a semifinal pinfall win over Lane Vesely of Wilber-Clatonia, with the semifinal pin coming in just 62 seconds.
