Junior Holden Mathis was the 132-pound champion at the Feb. 11 Class 1A District 6 tournament in Monona. This marks his first trip to state.
A second-place finish at districts made senior Karter Decker a rare four-time state qualifier. This year, he did it at 145 pounds.
Taylor Herzmann’s conference title at 220 pounds a few weeks ago was the previous high point of his wrestling career. The senior said advancing to state certainly tops it.
Sophomore Quinn McGeough had to win a wrestle back to solidify second place and his spot in the state tournament. He sealed it with a fall against Wapsie Valley’s Brock Kleitsch.
In a surprise turn of events, coach Chet Bachman confirmed Tuesday that 113-pound sophomore Keith Anderson has also qualified due to an injury to the first-place qualifier from Starmont.
