State Competition: Been there

A small bus filled with expectant athletes traveled from southeastern Laramie County to Casper last Thursday. Inside were 16 of the Burns/Pine Bluffs wrestlers hoping to make a big impact on the state mats.

Coach Dan Clayson was pleased with the training and the preparation and was confident the squad could hold their own.

River Schroeder placed third for the highest finish of the 16. Senior Cecil Brockman ended his high school career with a fourth place state finish. Nolan Schindler placed fifth and Gabe Felix finished his senior wrestling year with a sixth place finish.

The Burns/Pine Bluffs wrestling squad improves its results and increases its size and looks forward to next year for more wrestlers on the ride to Casper and more medals coming home.
