The David City wrestlers finished in 4th place at the state wrestling meet at the Qwest Center in Omaha. It was a tight team race up until the finals on Saturday. Four teams were in the race for the championship with Madison finishing in 1st, Bennington 2nd., Sargent-Burwell 3rd. and David City finishing in 4th place. Each team had 4 medal winners.
Travis W. won his second state championship at 145 lb. when he defeated Breckin C. from Centennnial 9-4. Tanner W. was in the finals and was defeated by Ryan P. from Raymond Central 17-1. David City received a 3rd. place medal from Chris P. when he defeated Jason M. from Wilber-Clatonia 2-0. Chris fought through a torn cartilage injury to place at state.
