This marks the last year that the 5A-6A state wrestling meet will be held in Wichita and I covered both days for my old paper, The Topeka Capital-Journal. There was a small contingent of Topeka-area wrestlers in the meet, but only two – Shawnee Heights seniors Jared Brown (above, celebrating an overtime championship victory in the 160-pound match) and heavyweight Chris Holly – advanced to the finals. It was also good to see former Heights coach Bob Gonzales, who now coaches Manhattan, which won the Class 6A team title. He's a super nice guy.
