   112 - Bart Reiter of Don Bosco (yellow) is halfway to joining brother Mack as a four-time State champ after defeating Cameron Wagner of Belle Plaine, 3-0. Reiter won at 103 last season for the Dons and has helped the team win a pair of Class 1A State Championships. |
   119 - The tables were turned in a re-match of last season's 119-pound title bout. Travis Taylor of Prairie Valley (white headgear) became the first State champ in school history with a 4-2 overtime win over defending champ Jase Thompson of Mason City Newman. Taylor scored a pair of near fall points late in the third period and won with a takedown in overtime. |
   125 - Dalton Jensen of Missouri Valley (red) capped off an amazing run through the 125-pound weight class with a pin in 1:14 over Brad Exline of West Branch. Jensen pinned his way through the tournament and was named the Class 1A Outstanding Wrestler. The senior added this title to the 103-pound crown he claimed as a sophomore. |
   130 - Marshall Koethe of Akron-Westfield (black) won his second straight State title with a pin in 1:58 over Mitch Johnson of Interstate 35. Koethe is a three-time finalist and goes after a third gold medal next season, while Johnson, also a junior, is a three-time State medalist. |
