In the Handsite, St. Charles escaped from the East Junior Anthony Gutrez Guntenatt.
It was a takeaway for gutirez, who faced some of the country’s best wrestlers in the Class 3A individual state at the State Farm Center in Champaign in the last weekend.
“I was not very happy with my results,” Gutirez said, who is a team-first type of man. “But I went there and some top division I went against athletes and I showed what I can do.
“Now, I am ready to move forward and go to the next stage.”
The next phase has been set when Gutirez helped the monk to win 49-21 on Tuesday night’s Class 3A Edison Trail Dual Team at Main South.
In the first period of Junior Aidan Swenson, Gutrez’s PIN punctured a wave of six direct win from the fall as St. Charles East (21–0), which led to a 36–3 lead.
Gutrez (39–12) is a significant cog for a monk in 165 pounds, which will repeat as a state champion starting at 5 pm on Friday in the quarter-finals against Rockton Hononaga in Grosinger Motors Arena in Bloomington.
In the individual state meeting, Gutirez finished fourth in 165. His only disadvantage came against the wrestlers who finished second and third with a joint record of 113–4 respectively.
“It was a very good wrestling against him,” he said. “And seeing where I am now.”
St.
Gutirez also improved his place from a year ago. As a sophomore, he ranked sixth in 160. According to 113-Pound Dome Munrato, this is their speed that acquired the place.
“He is really competitive,” Munretto said about the gutirez. “He goes hard all the time – the kind of man who always puts in 100%. He is a fighter and a big part of our team’s success.”
A close examination of results from the state finals shows how close the gutirez was at the top.
He took Runner-up, Leon’s Gareli to overtime for the loss of one-point semi-finals. Gutirez then worked for 7-4 for the Owen Apptinghouse of Quincy in the third place match.
St. Charles East coach Jason Potter said, “He was in both the matches that won him to the very end to win.” “Even if he could be a little smaller, I think he received a lot of respect.
“I think he named his name in the conversation, and people realized that he was a real deal.”

The 6 -Foot -2 gutirese combines size, access, length and strength.
“He has made tremendous progress since his new year,” said Potter.
An external lineback for saints in football is a mixture of athleticism, cruelty, quickness, and strength in the gutirez. and that’s not all.
“I think my style is unexpected,” he said. “With my upper body, I like to use that size to snatch the ankles when I am on my feet or just fake and move forward. I like to snatch and reach the top. ,
Football was the original route of wrestling. At the age of 6, he followed the path of some friends who also wrestled.
St.
“I just decided to try it and love it,” he said. “There were different parts with which I really fell in love. It was easy to score, but it was also very difficult.
“I really train, but I also know that there is no insurance in this game. Everything is on you. I am always making sure that no one is trying hard to me. ,
Outside the game, the gutirez is more contemplative, outlined by its love of fishing. He is motivated to be outgoing, personal and successful.
Being part of a national powerhouse program characterized by three Big Ten recruitments is part of the adventure.
“My father was a good athlete and it is my favorite part about the game,” Gutirez said. “I am proud of my family.”
