Six wrestlers placed at the 2021 state tournament in Salina Feb. 27. The wrestlers worked to qualify and place at state since November when the season started. They worked out in the weight room, drilled and ate healthily. “We build up to the middle and then we try to increase our intensity to peak at the end,” wrestling coach Brandon Terry said. “We cut down our workload towards the end of the year and try to increase our intensity, and hopefully, we peak at the state tournament series.”
