This past weekend the Wrestling team competed at Mill Valley High School. We told 13 wrestlers to the competition and 10 qualified for the state tournament. We had an awesome day! We put 6 wrestlers in the finals and produced two champions. Sawyer Like toppled the number one ranked wrestler in 5A to be crowned regional champion. Also Kyle Pepper the 3 seed in the tournament won the HWT championship in dramatic fashion in Ultimate overtime to capture his first regional title. At the end of the day we found ourselves out of 2nd place by only 5 points. We would personally like to thank all the students that showed up to support us this past Saturday. We enjoyed the support! Later this week will head to the State Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. Hopefully we can continue our success next week. I have attached the results for each weight class.
