The Class 3-2-1A Beloit regional featured zero ranked teams. However, the regional had a high number of elite competitors, including three undefeated wrestlers with Minneapolis’ Tyson Villalpando, Rock Hills’ Zane Colson and Ell-Saline’s Nick Davenport. Five wrestlers are ranked first: Smith Center’s Jaden Atwood, Colson, Villalpando, Hoisington’s Wyatt Pedigo and Davenport at 138, 152, 182, 195 and 220, respectively.

Though some regional tournament starts were delayed by “Old Man Winter,” all tournaments wrapped-up by the end of the day Saturday and the field is set for next weekend’s state tournaments.
Regional host sites included Garden City High School and Blue Valley High School (Overland Park) in class 6A; Bonner Springs and Arkansas City in class 5A; Chanute, Smoky Valley (Lindsborg), Paola and Pratt in class 4A; and Beloit, Fredonia, Rossville and Trego Community (WaKeeney) in class 3-2-1A.

There are dozens of outstanding wrestlers that could've been the focus of the cover features for our new Kansas Pregame Winter Sports Preview released last November. Goddard's Troy Fisher, Derby's Cade Lindsey and Triston Wills, Newton's Wyatt Hendrickson, Eureka's Kendall and Kolby Beitz, and the list goes on and on. Narrowing a list to just four of the top wreslters in the state is challenging, but this weekend's regional tournament results certainly prove that this grappling quartet is among the best in the Sunflower State.
