Jeffrey Elerick was undefeated at duals and goes into zone as top seed. Wyatt Hughes, Angelo Gibson, Israel Knight and Jake Trowbridge enter as number two seeds in their respective weight classes.
Cade Liebsack landed four dual wins. Justin Carruth had three.
Meanwhile, freshman wrestler Magdalena Ramirez competed in the girl’s regional tournament at Reed High School. She placed fifth so will not be competing at State this year.

“I had a great season with my wrestling teammates and coaches,” she said. “I’m happy how far I’ve come.”
