SYCAMORE – Austin Culton was anxious all day Thursday.

The Sycamore senior wrestler had heard predictions all over the map for the Spartans’ dual meet against DeKalb. With a conference title on the line, he knew the intensity would be ramped up when the rivals met.

“It’s DeKalb, obviously there were hundreds of people here,” Culton said after the meet. “Sometimes when you’re out there, you can let the crowd get to you, and you can let the crowd dictate how you wrestle. It’s hard to go out there and wrestle your match.”
