CEDAR RAPIDS – Tim Fisher dropped his shoulders, tilted his head back and exhaled before leaving the championship mat.
A mid-December injury almost prevented the Cedar Rapids Prairie senior from experiencing the relief that followed the last second ticking off the clock. Fisher overcame that setback and a ranked opponent to cement his spot in the state wrestling tournament.
Fisher topped Marion’s sixth-ranked Alex Conway, 8-6, for the 152-pound championship, earning one of six individual titles for Prairie, which claimed the team title at the Class 3A district meet Saturday at Cedar …
