(From left) Judd Harvey, Trae Kennedy, Connor Blunt, Colby Clatterbaugh, Brendan Clatterbaugh, Tanner Musser and Ty Goedert traveled to Virginia Beach, Virginia to wrestle in the USA High School Nationals. This group of boys had 5:30 a.m. practices and evening lifting for weeks following the end of their regular season in preparation for the tournament. They each wrestled by weight and grade, some of which had 130 plus kids in their brackets, and only the top eight earned the honor of All-American Wrestler. Coaches Justin Grant and Trevor Grant chaperoned the boys to Virginia, coached them in the mornings and evening, and both said the boys went “for the experience, and they all gained some valuable mat time.” Harvey took sixth place and came home an All-American for freshmen at 220 pounds. — COURTESY PHOTO
