TUCSON — The Buena Colt wrestling team swept through a triangular meet with Douglas, Catalina and Tucson High Wednesday to improve to 7-0 on the season after the first three weeks of competition.
Buena defeated Douglas, 58-12; Catalina, 65-12; and Tucson High, 60-21 in a four-team multi-meet wrestled at Tucson High.
Earlier this season, Buena defeated Salpointe Catholic, Casa Grande and Tucson High at Buena, and last week knocked of Class 4A Sahuaro at Sahuaro. Douglas and Catalina are Class 4A schools, while Tucson High is a 5A school.
“It was a good tune-up for our first tournament of the season,” Buena coach Dan Southard said. “We head for Las Cruces tomorrow (Thursday) for a weekend of wrestling in the Las Cruces Invitational.”

Buena dominated all three contests, winning 12 of 14 bouts against Douglas and Catalina and 10 of 14 bouts against Tucson High.
“We improved in just about every weight class,” Southard said. “We are getting stronger and with the addition of Emilio Gonzales at 152 and Ben Serpa at 135 we became stronger at those two weights.
Eight of the Colt wrestlers went undefeated on the day, winning all three of their bouts by falls.
Going 3-0 were Marcus Williams at 112, Brett Madden at 125, Ian Beauregard at 130, Brice Madden at 135, Emilio Gonzales at 152, Carl Larimer at 160, Kevin Treftz at 189 and Robert Ellis at heavyweight.
Jimmy Byrd was 2-0 at 140 and Serpa 1-0, also at 140. Rene Miramontes went 2-1 at 119, Ryan Hegedus 2-1 at 145 and Brian Seiler 2-1 at 171. Miramontes’ lone loss was to Tucson’s Arrivsu in overtime.
Kyle Rae was 1-2 at 103 and Anthony Kirkpartrick 0-3 at 215.
Last year at Las Cruces, Buena finished 13th in the 40-team field and were led by Miramontes and Gonzales, both of who finished fifth. Serpa and Treftz placed sixth.
“We should have all four wrestlers seeded this year and are looking forward to a top 10 finish or better this year,” Southard said.
