Dillon Witt and Kobie Blankenship won by fall Tuesday as Sullivan dropped a dual meet to Pacific, 50-30.

Isaac Peregoy (160), Luke Landwehr (195) and Tristan Brown (285) won by forfeit.

Pacific handed Sullivan its first dual loss of the season. The Indians featured five all-state wrestlers from a team that took ninth in Class 3 last season. 

Witt (106) pinned Ethan Flaherty in 42 seconds to begin the night on a strong note for the Eagles, but Pacific took over from there.

Camron Steffey (120) pinned Joseph Lewis in 3:51. Noah Patton (126) won by technical fall against Ty Shetley, 16-0.

Callum Sitek (132) pinned Ethan Hines in 1:10. Colton Thompson (138) pinned Jonthan Krygiel in 4:55.

Blankenship (145) added Sullivan’s only other fall of the night when he pinned Trevor Graf in 1:25.

Nathan Murray (152) pinned Dillon Kassebaum in 49 seconds. 

The Indians’ Ben Courtney, who finished runner-up at 152 last season, won by forfeit at 160. He was followed by fellow runner-up James Anding, who secured a 5-3 decision against Evan Shetley (182). Shetley lost for just the third time this season. 

In the final match of the night, Trevor Heitsch pinned Trevor Hamblin (220) in 4:37.
