Four Jackson County Central wrestlers, three of whom are state ranked, will be looking for another trip to the state wrestling tournament by qualifying at Saturday’s Section 3A tourney in St. James.
The top two finishers at each weight class advance to the state tournament Feb. 28-March 1 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Two Huskies are after a third individual trip to state.
Freshman Kayden Eller is rated second at 114 pounds. He placed third at 114 at last year’s state tournament as an eighth grader and qualified at 107 as a seventh grader.
Junior Isaac Rodirguez is ranked fifth at 121. He was third in the state tourney at 121 last year and was a state qualifier at 106 in 2022.
Kyler Thier, a freshman, is rated first at 127. He was third at 107 in the state tournament last year.
Also, senior Ben Dahlin was a state qualifier 126 at 126 pounds in 2023. He’ll wrestle at 152 in the section tourney.
Following is the list of state-ranked scheduled to compete in the Section 3A tournament. Listed are wrestler, school, year and ranking. Wrestlers won’t necessarily compete at that weight Saturday.
