Columbus East High School

The Olympians battled through a competitive field, finishing in 9th place after going 3-1 on the day. The tournament began with a heartbreaking first-round loss to Perry Meridian. Both teams tied at 38-38, but forfeits at the 106- and 285-pound weight classes tipped the tie-breaker in favor of Perry Meridian.
