The Fort Riley Middle School Troopers wrestling team finished seventh out of seven teams in the NCKL Tournament, but there were some bright spots.

Coach Bob Shefelton reported that Nathan Smith became the first Trooper to place first in the NCKL 155 pound weight class. Davin Dewaine finished second at 180 pounds, Jose Padilla fourth at 141 pounds and Fedel Small fourth at 110 pounds.

Shefelton noted it was a fairly good season. He stated, “The kids came a long way since the first day of practice and I feel they really improved a lot.”
