3 qualify for Kids State Wrestling


The Republic County Kids Wrestling Club had eight wrestlers qualify for districts in McPherson March 22. They were Austin Barntz, Connor Strutt, Miranda Cottenmyre, Grant Strnad, Kyle Strutt, Bret Filipi, Jaishawn Baija, and Eric Walker. Three of these wrestlers qualified for the Kansas Kids Wrestling State Tournament in Topeka at the Expocentre March 29th and 30th. Those wrestlers were Kyle Strutt, Grant Strnad, and Miranda Cottenmyre.


Kyle Strutt placed 6th in the 12 and under 150 lbs. A very difficult tournament with around 2,000 wrestlers. Only the best wrestlers make to this tournament, a very difficult competition. To place in the top 6 is a very big honor. All 3 wrestlers wrestled good in a very big and tough tournament. Congratulations to Kyle, Grant, and Miranda!
