United to show support
Clear Lake and Humboldt High School wrestlers united to show their support for the Spencer wrestling community
prior to their Thursday night North Central Conference match. Eighteen-year-old Austin Roberts, of Spencer, died Dec.
19, 2015 just hours after collapsing on the mat during the 220-pound weight class final at the Spencer High School In-
vitational meet. The 6’4” Roberts was ranked sixth in Iowa in Class 3A. He took up the sport in the seventh grade and
placed in the Class 2A state tournament last year, his first appearance at state, taking eighth at 220 pounds. Roberts was
also an offensive and defensive lineman for the Tiger football team.-Reporter photo by Chris Barragy.
