"What an incredible run by all 14 participants at state this weekend,” said PWC youth coach Ryan Kariesch. “It's been fun to see the success of so many youth wrestlers. I hope that every kid that wrestled this weekend is proud and walks away knowing they are in the top in the entire state at their respective age and weights. The future seems bright for Prescott wrestling. Congrats to all wrestlers, coaches, and parents!”
Wrestling is a long season and every wrestler, not only those who made it to State, but those who spent the last four months showing up to the wrestling room and putting in the work should be proud. Every practice partner and wrestler in that room played a role in getting these kids to Madison.
