PARK CITY, KS — Seven Hutchinson High School wrestlers took to the mat over the weekend in the KSHSAA Class 5A State Championship.
The Salthawks put three on the podium. Junior Kade Smith, battled his way to the championship before falling to Bradley Trimmell of Andover. Freshman Cruz Cannon fell in the semifinal to Trevor Christenson (Basehor-Linwood), but would show his grit on the consolation side of the bracket, defeating Brock Slimmer (Spring Hill) to finish with a 3rd place medal. The final placer for the Salthawks was at heavyweight. Senior Camden Jensen finished his career with the Salthawks as a two-time state placer with a 5th place finish.
The Salthawks will return all qualifiers for next season, with the exception of Jensen. The youthful Salthawks gained viable experience at the highest level of wrestling in Kansas. The Salthawks will move to the offseason looking to continue to build on the foundation that was laid this season.
