SPRINGFIELD — Fulda/Murray County Central’s Colby Kesteloot and Kaston Clarke each earned individual championships at the Section 3A individual tournament Saturday, leading a group of three Rebels to qualify for the Class A state tournament.

Tracy-Milroy-Balaton/Westbrook-Walnut Grove also had a section champion on the day with David Schuh in 139 claiming his third consecutive section title and fourth consecutive state tournament appearance.

For the Rebels, Kesteloot returns to the state tournament in 285 after finishing as the section runner-up last year, pinning each of his four opponents in this year’s section tournament.

Kaston Clarke claimed a section title in 121 with three straight pins, earning his second state tournament appearance after finishing as the 3A runner-up in 2024.

Quintin Lewis also had a runner-up finish for the Rebels to advance to the state tournament while Lucas Kuball and Vincent Bray each placed third. The Rebels had 10 total medalists in the tournament.

Taylor Squires qualified for state for TMB/WWG with a runner-up finish in 121, while Mason Kampsen did the same for Wabasso in 215.

Weston Marten and Nolan Verlinde each fell just shy of a state berth for the Panthers, losing their true second-place matches in 133 and 145 with a state tournament berth on the line. TMB/WWG had nine total medalists and six top-4 medalists.

Braxton Weber was Red Rock Central’s top performer on the day, placing third in 107, while five other Falcons went home with medals.

Wabasso had just one state qualifier but seven top-four medalists. Brillin Wagner placed third in 285 while KJ Beermann, Kullen Steen, Lane Taylor, Paxton Huhnerkoch and Zeke Olson each placed fourth. The Rabbits had nine total medalists.

The Class AA state individual wrestling tournament will begin on Thursday at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul at 9 a.m. Schedule changes this year mean that the first round will be wrestled on Thursday, the quarterfinals and Semifinals will be held on Friday and the championships are slated for Saturday.
