Dreams of making the State Wrestling Meet will be made today as the Knoxville and PCM Wrestling Squads head to Ballard to wrestle in the class 2A district meet. For the Panthers, this is a chance to get several guys to Wells Fargo Arena. The three that made it last year are all vying for a chance to go again. Luke Spaur, Marco Alejo, and Wayne Johnston have all had great seasons and they can cap it off with another trip to the Well. In addition, Andon Trout, Chaz Graves, Daniel Gorskikh, and others have a shot as well. Coach Skylar Spaur tells KNIA/KRLS Sports the goal is five, but he would love to have more.
Spaur: “I would be disappointed if we didn’t get 5, I guess if things go perfectly we could get 8, but that would have to be a perfect day. Plus there’s always a guy that comes out of nowhere to surprise.”
For the Mustangs there are four guys to watch who have all compiled 30 wins on the season. Remington Fry, who is 33-12, Hewitt Brinegar has put together a 32-17 record, freshman Tucker Wheeler is 38-11 along with Kaden Clark at 32-14. The top two in each weight class will advance to the State Meet in Des Moines.
