VALLEY CITY, ND  (NewsDakota.com)  Koltyn Grebel leaves his career at the Storhaug Wrestling Tournament as the king of the field.

Grebel won the 139-pound champion Saturday, registering three pins and a technical fall to capture his fourth championship of the usually highly-competitive tournament.

Grebel won his first three matches in falls of 41, 44, and 21 seconds, registered a second-period fall in the semifinals, and defeated Class B defending state champion Sawyer Owens of Hillsboro-Central Valley 15-0 to claim the title.

With the championship, Grebel passes Ace Anderson for career tournament titles, passes his older brother Koye Grebel to move to second all time in wins at VCHS, and leaves the Storhaug Tournament with an undefeated record that includes winning every match by fall or technical fall.

Ryer Muske added a third-place finish at 189 for the Hi-Liners, and Owen Hunt placed third at 285, rallying from a quarterfinal loss to win four straight.  Dylan Hunt finished fifth at 215.
