Three-Peat it is! Garden City claims another 6A title; Dodge City third

Park City, Kan. (westernkansasnews.com)–To repeat for a third time as a team champion can be tough, even with 12 wrestlers qualified for the state tournament. After being ranked second in Class 6A going into the Class 6A State Tournament, the Garden City Buffaloes came into the weekend with a chip on their shoulder, and held off a Saturday surge from Olathe North to claim their third straight state team title at Hartman Arena. In the three-peat, Garden City also produced their first ever three-time state champions. Michael Prieto has never lost a state tournament in three years of high school wrestling, by claiming the 126-pound title, and Tevin Briscoe closed out a great career by winning the 145-pound title. Seven other Buffaloes placed, including Kaj Perez at 106, Efrain Sanchez at 113, Jesse Nunez at 160 and Zeke Herrera at 195 placing second, Curtis Near at 138 and Zac Finch at 170 were fourth, and Aaron Lozano at 285 placed fifth.
