On Thursday and Friday, the Boys Wrestling team competed at the KHSAA State Tournament. The wrestling team performed incredibly well this season. The state tournament was no different, with six of the twelve qualifying wrestlers placing in the top eight of their weight classes!
Kaygen Roberts (132 lbs) and Micah Thompson (144 lbs) placed third in their respective weight classes, and Jackson Burger (190 lbs) took sixth place in his weight class. Senior Dakota Phillips (113 lbs) and Jax Crowe (175 lbs) placed seventh in their weight classes. Finally, senior Jaimen Carey (157 lbs) took eighth in his weight class.
For the seniors of the wrestling team, this tournament was the end of their Boyle County wrestling career. They exhibited hard work, dedication, and perseverance throughout their season, setting an example for the underclassmen on the team.
Senior Jaimen Carey noted that the state tournament was “an opportunity for the seniors to show the results of their hard work throughout their careers.”
The senior wrestlers definitely did so, leaving their mark on Boyle County High School wrestling history.
Congratulations to the boys wrestling team for another great season. Make sure to follow the team next season!
