Saratoga grapplers take 3rd at regionals

All 11 Saratoga Panther matmen who competed in the 2A East Regional Championships on Friday earned the right to contend for a State Championship title.

The team boasted individual championships in the 113 and 195 pound classes, along with two third place and three fourth place finishes. The combined efforts of the Panther team resulted in 3rd place overall, behind Moorcroft and Lingle-Ft. Laramie/Southeast (LFL/SE).

Several wrestlers for Saratoga returned from injury and illness for the tournament. Seth Stephens and Skyler Wood, however, were unable to compete due to injury.
