The Fayette

County Youth wrestling club sent nine wrestlers to the

state competion last weekend and produced two runners up

and seven match winners.

Devin King

and Nick Bennett each were runners up in their weight

division. Bennett, a seventh grader at Fayette Middle

School, wrestles in the 120 lb. novice division, while

King wrestles in the 80 lb. schoolboy division.

The other

wrestlers that participated and performed well were Ryan

Winter, 100 lb schoolboy, Booth Middle School; Keith

Mundy, 140 lb. schoolboy, Rising Starr; Andy and Chris

Kragor, 160 lb schoolboy, Rising Starr; Ben Griffin, 112

novice, Fayette Middle; Danny Hartpence, 115 schoolboy,

Rising Starr, and Ryan Johnson, who qualified for the

state tournament but was injured on a trampoline shortly

thereafter.

The team is

coached by Frank Bennett and Ron Nelson, who are both

very proud of the team's accomplishments during the

season and at the tournament.
