Humboldt, Iowa — The 2019 IHSAA Wrestling State Tournament has come and gone and it was a successful run for our area competitors. Here’s an “at a glance” look at how everyone fared this weekend in our state capitol.
106:
Humboldt — Cole Nelson, Jr. — Did not place
PAC — Jacob Mielke, Sr. — 4th place
145:
Humboldt — Joey Busse, Sr. — 1st place; 28th individual state champion at Humboldt High School; first state champion in Humboldt since 2008.
195:
Humboldt — Joel Osborn, Sr. — 8th place; unranked entering tournament.
285:
Humboldt — Justin Jones, Sr. — 7th place; Humboldt’s third podium winner.
Other news and notes:
The North Central Conference had four individual State Champions at this year’s tournament: Webster City’s Drake Doolittle at 120, Clear Lake’s Eric Faught at 132, Busse at 145 and C-G-D’s Spencer Trenary at 285.
That’s a pretty good showing for the conference.
