Kole Igou won the championship at 170 pounds.
“Kole wrestled a great tournament today. He pinned his way through the whole tournament,” Austin interim head coach Jer Osgood said. “I was proud of Kole’s performance today. Kole does a great job of controlling the tempo of his matches from start to finish. He has continually improved all season.”
Mitch Tebay was runner up at 182 and Nathan Brinkman was runner up at 138.
“This was Nathan Brinkman’s first finals appearance of this season,” Osgood said. “I was happy for Nathan’s success today. Hopefully this will be the confidence Nathan can use leading up to sections.”
