The Middle School Eagles finished the season strong right before the winter break, with several wrestlers taking first place in the tri-county tournament in Boonville on Thursday, Dec. 19th. No team score was tracked, and athletes were placed in 4-5 person brackets based on weight class and skill level. This led to some of our athletes being placed in the same brackets.

Rayelle Klemme gave a dominating performance, taking first place in the tri-county tournament

Individual placements
1st place wrestlers: Bowen Bartow, Rigen Kahler, Jordan Doyle, Gunnar Bolinger, Jennings Elliot, Max Gabaldon, and Rayelle Klemme.

2nd place wrestlers: Grayson Schilling, Sam Leininger, Weston Wilmoth, Preston Roach, and Addison Schaefer.

3rd place wrestlers: Harley Crane, Lucas Langland, Wyatt Shanks, Nathan Goodsell, Riley Haskamp, Landon Koch, and Quinn Mitchell.
