The tournament drew a highly competitive field, and Sidney rose to the challenge with six wrestlers earning spots on the podium.

Leading the way for the Jackets were Noah Laine and Dalton Davis, who each secured third-place finishes in their respective weight classes.

Davis matched that effort wrestling up a weight class at 144 pounds, wrestling with consistency throughout the day.

At 190 pounds, Ethan Moore turned in a strong run to finish fourth, while Braylon Fisher mirrored that performance at 215 pounds, adding valuable team points with his podium finish.

Heavyweight JR Fisher also contributed to Sidney’s top-six team finish, earning fifth place at 285 pounds. Rounding out the group was Maleki Kelly, who placed sixth at 120 pounds, securing important points in the lower-weight brackets.
