A freshman wrestler has completed his first season at the highest level possible.

Ryzen Isringhausen completed his first year just losing one match and running through the Class 3 State Championships and winning in overtime 4-2 over Jaxson Shute of Platte County to take first at 106. Ryzen is the younger brother of Kyshin Isringhausen, who graduated last year after placing in the State Wrestling Meet each of his four years with his best finish being second his freshman year.

Two area wrestlers medaled in the Class 2 State Meet with Hollister's Bryson Whitman (144) and Reeds Spring's Sebastian Michaud (215) each finishing 5th in their weight classes.
