Allred won the 150-pound championship in the weekend’s Eye of the Tiger Invitational at Mt. Pleasant.
He was one of the Bulldogs’ eight top-four finishers in the event, but the lone champion. Allred defeated Avery County’s Mason Bentley 10-1 in the championship bout.
Earlier in the tournament, Allred had a technical fall against Rhett White of West Cabarrus, pinned East Rowan’s Jaiden Archie and North Gaston’s William Long in the first period and registered a pin of Cox Mills’ Stephen Buie in 2:21.
Trinity placed second behind Hickory Ridge in the 22-team event.
Allred also won three matches in last week’s tri-meet by defeating opponents from East Davidson, Salisbury and Southwestern Randolph.
Last month, Allred was a runner-up in the West Rowan Invitational.
This week, Trinity is slated to visit Uwharrie Charter Academy in a Piedmont Athletic Conference matchup involving teams that won dual team state championships last season.
