Another Iowa high school state wrestling tournament has come and gone as 42 wrestlers and three teams were crowned champions Saturday night.
Here's what you need to know.
Class 3A
Western Dubuque doubled its historical total of state champions, and for Max Lyon and Iowa City West's Nelson Brands, state was twice as nice this year. Southeast Polk won the team title.
Class 2A
Bryce West won his third state title, and his major decision played a major role in Solon edging New Hampton by a half-point for the 2A team championship.
Meanwhile, you have to see Tristan Wirfs' winning takedown and celebration at heavyweight:
Class 1A
Lisbon won its 15th traditional state title and first since 1993 as freshman Cael Happel claimed gold a year after his brother, Carter, won his fourth state championship.
