Timber Weber and Orion Musser competed in the 2023 Colorado Elementary and Colorado Middle School State Wrestling Championships. Weber, who wrestles in Meeker for Athlos Life, placed fourth. Orion is little brother to Tanner Musser, the state Class 2A, 285 pound runner-up, and an eighth grader at Barone Middle School. Orion finishes his middle school season 17-3 and runner-up at Middle School State. Middle School State does not have class distinctions and the kids competing must face some year round wrestlers. Orion won four matches, three by decision and one by pin, on his road to the championship match. | ERIN MUSSER PHOTO
