Isaiah Luellen is just 19-0 after recovering from a serious leg injury that put his entire senior season in doubt. The reigning 160-pound champion skipped the Mid-East League meet two weeks ago, but was dominant at regionals with three pins and a technical fall win.
“I can just see myself improving every week,” Luellen said after winning at the Silver Lake Invitational in early February. “It’d been 10 months since I stepped foot on the mat. It’s been tough, but I’m getting back to where I was.”
The three-time state placer is ranked No. 1 at 160 with Scott City’s Jarret Jurgens (32-1) No. 2. They are on the same side of the bracket and could meet in the semifinals on Saturday at Gross Coliseum in Hays.
