The top returners include junior Tagen Lambotte who is a two time state champ in the 145 class who finished with a 34-1 record last year. Senior Cody Cooper finished well at the state tournament and compiled an 18-13 record last year in the 285 class. Jacob Gentry in the 126 pound class was another of the top wrestlers last year.
