There have been several high-quality wrestlers to come through the Blue Springs wrestling program.
Some of those wrestlers reached the 100-win milestone for their high school careers. Add senior Jaxson McIntyre to that list.
The 170-pounder, who is ranked No. 2 in his weight class according to the MissouriWrestling.com poll, went up 15-4 in his match with August Kienest before using an armbar roll over his opponent and get a pin in 2:36 to reach the 100-win milestone and help his team cruise to a 57-21 rout of crosstown rival Blue Springs South Tuesday at home.
After he win, McIntyre did a strut off of the mat. He went and got a large necklace from his mother that commemorated his 100th win, and we wore it for the rest of the dual.
“It feels good to get my 100th win. I have been working hard all four years,” McIntyre said. “It’s actually my mom’s birthday, too. It was a birthday present to her, too.”
Blue Springs head coach Bobbe Lowe said McIntyre’s hard work has helped him become a two-time state medalist and has put him among the best wrestlers in the state.
