PCM qualified three of the four grapplers that made the district meet on Saturday to state while Knoxville was shut out of a state meet berth. The Mustangs will send 132 pounder Landon Fenton, 138 pounder Payton Drake, and 152 pounder Colby Tool. All three say it is an honor to make the state meet and their goal is to finish on the podium.

Fenton:
“It’s exciting and I’m looking forward to competing with some of the best people there.”

Drake:
“It’s nice and relieving to get there my senior year in back-to-back years and getting to compete on the mat.”

Tool:
“The last two years and the honor of placing both years and trying to get on the top of the podium, so it means a lot.”

PCM’s fourth wrestler, Jace Smith, was one second from forcing overtime but a reversal ended his season at 285 pounds. Knoxville’s best finish was third place from Marco Alejo at 106 pounds, Luke Spaur at 120 pounds, Nash Linsley at 160 pounds, and Gavin Montalvo at 170 pounds.
