The Soldotna wrestling team finished second at the seven-team Colony Invitational on Saturday.

Colony won the tournament with 260 points, while Soldotna scored 152 to finish second. Kenai was fifth with 64 points.

The tournament featured brackets for most weight classes, and a round robin for those weight classes without a lot of wrestlers.

Austin Craig, Seth Hutchison and Ryan Winter paced the Stars by each taking first.

Craig, at 113, defeated Colony’s Sam Sisco 3-1 in the championship match. Hutchison, at 120, defeated Dimond’s Jack Divelbiss by a 10-0 major decision in the title match. Winter, at 132, pinned Wasilla’s Troy Newland in the title match.
