Chris Boardman of Moorcroft took 3rd and Brody Sorenson of Thermopolis was 4th.

Jake Hicks of Wheatland is another outstanding all-around athlete. He's a 3-time all-state selection in football and now a state champion wrestler thanks to a hard-fought 4-3 win over Keltan Ewing of Douglas. Hicks was 45-7 this season and Ewing was 49-5 ao that was an all-star match. The 3rd place guy at 152 in 3A was Jackson Wood of Cody with Ezra Archuleta of Rawlins taking 4th.

Over in 4A, Sheridan's Dane Steel placed 4th at 145 a year ago and this year, he stormed through the 152-pound bracket and beat Cade Pugh of Cheyenne East for the title.
