Two Warriors are headed to Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines this week after qualifying for the 2021 State Wrestling Tournament on Saturday.
“I am very proud of how our guys prepared this week and how they wrestled on Saturday,” said coach Jacob Elsbernd after two of four Warrior wrestlers advanced at Districts. “It is always tough to see some of our guys not achieve their goals, but it doesn’t take away from the great seasons they put together!”
Both Damon Meyer (220) and Ethan Maldonado (126) will head to State on Thursday. For No. 11-ranked Maldonado, he is not three-for-three in trips to State while No. 6-ranked Damon Meyer will make his second trip to The Well.
