Southeast Missourian athlete of the week: Jackson's Jarrett Reisenbichler

Jarrett Reisenbichler led the Jackson contingent at the state wrestling meet by finishing fourth at 106 pounds in Class 4. He was the top finisher from the area.

Reisenbichler earned a victory in his first match in Columbia. He defeated Francis Howell North's Brendan Hachtel 13-5, but then fell to Nixa's Joe Velliquette 7-4 in the quarterfinals.

The Jackson freshman rebounded by knocking off Liberty's Cannon Trester 10-3 before beating Holt's Justin Scott 3-1.

Reisenbichler, who won the SEMO Conference title last month, beat Ozark senior J.J. Dorrell 5-4 to earn a spot in the third-place match.

But Park Hill's Ke-Shawn Hayes pinned Reisenbichler in 4 minutes, 26 seconds.

Reisenbichler, who also captured the title at the Tiger Classic in December, finished his freshman campaign with a 52-7 record.
