At the Jordan High meet (called the Mountain Top Classic Wrestling Tournament) Caleb Williams and Bryce Jackman took first in the Greco/Roman style wrestling. In that same division Justin Procarione took 3rd and Tyler Procarione took 5th.
In the freestyle wrestling Johnny O’Hearon, Williams, and Jackman all took first places. Tyler Procarione took second, and Jayden Horrocks took 5th.
In the Salina tournament Jax Kraync and Nathan Velasquez took firsts. Nico Velasquez took second.
In addition another local wrestler, Kenden Huff went to a meet in Paonia, Colo. and took first place in his division.
