Spencer Wright grapples with his opponent at the state wrestling tournament in Casper. Wright took second at 106 pounds.
The Green River High School wrestling team came back from state with two state titles and a third-place finish.
The team finished behind Star Valley and Douglas in 3A.
"I'm very proud of how our team competed this weekend. The wrestlers showed a lot of heart and determination," head coach Josh Wisniewski said.
Tommy Dalton and Kale Knezovich earned state titles at the tournament, both of which being their second state championship.
In all, eight wrestlers placed at the event. Spencer Wright secured a second-place finish, while Zach Wiepert and Conner Todd took fourth. Ryker Mele and James Herwaldt placed fifth and Deylin Miller placed sixth.
"We had a rough first round of the tournament but we pulled together, refocused and grinded out a third place finish as a team," Wisniewski said.
The coach said the team worked hard throughout the season and bettered themselves both on and off the mat. While a state title was the goal, he said the team will continue to work hard in the off season to achieve it next year.
"We are going to hit some camps, get the wrestlers in the weight room and get these boys ready for another run next year," Wisniewski said. "I'm excited for the offseason."
