The junior, who is ranked third in the nation at 182 pounds by FloWrestling, had a busy week.
On Jan. 11, Rogotzke announced his intention to attend the U.S. Naval Academy. Two days later, he earned his 175th career victory as the Ponies, who are ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, defeated Tri-City United 60-14.
Ponies coach Tim Hartung said Rogotzke "works hard and deserves every accomplishment he gets. He is a hard-nosed kid, and that is rare these days. I'm super proud, as all of our coaches are, of his decision to serve his country and compete at the Naval Academy. It is a privilege to coach him."
Rogotzke improved to 29-1 this season with three victories in three dual meets on Saturday.
He has finished third at the state meet the past two seasons — at 182 last year and at 160 pounds in 2020.
