Sending seven to state

Hanna, Elk Mountain, Medicine Bow (HEM) High School is sending seven wrestlers to state this weekend. Head Coach Lyle Richardson was pleased with his grapplers efforts at the Regionals in Wright on Feb. 15-16.

“I am happy for my kids because they work so hard,” Richardson said. “We actually are taking seven kids to state.”

Richardson had eight wrestlers compete and only Charlee Solass doesn’t go.

“She had two tough matches at 126,” Richardson said. “There were 10 kids and she needed to win a match, but although she put in a valiant effort, it didn’t happen.”
