Logan Rhodes was second at 144 and Jack Blomberg was the runner-up at 285. Rhodes posted a 4-1 record with three pins while Blomberg was 4-2. Both of his setbacks came against Schuyler standout Dana Guild, a state qualifier last season.

Marcos Escalante (150) and Logan Woodin (157) placed third, each going 4-1 on the day. Woodin’s loss came against three-time state medalist Gene Edwards from Central Valley and Escalante fell to Hannibal’s Zenon Derocha, a 2024 state qualifier.
