'Polar Bear' racks up more pins en route to South Dakota state wrestling championship match

A senior at Chamberlain High School, Hutmacher — widely known as the Polar Bear — has needed a total of 71 seconds to pin his three opponents en route to Saturday night's championship match in the Class A 285-pound division.

The meet is being held at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls.

Hutmacher, a defensive lineman in Nebraska's class of 2020, will face Gus Miller of Brookings in the title match as the Polar Bear looks to become the first four-time heavyweight champion in state history. He'll also try to extend his 72-match pin streak.
