On March 22, many Hutch Kids Wrestling Club grapplers punched their tickets to State in Topeka.
Head Coach Curtis Edwards stated, " I am so happy for these wrestlers how much they have accomplished to make it to state! The hours at practice and 5 months of dedication shows how much they all have achieved!"
Also many of the girl/6u boys participated in their state tournament with the following results:
Girls state placers
6&U state placers
Coach Edwards also quoted Carl Albert, a former Speaker of the House; "This is a sport (wrestling) that has turned many boys into men and many men into leaders. And it is a sport in which you can be a giant regardless of how big you are."
