KSHSAA Delays State Wrestling Starts

SALINA, Kan. (AP) – A winter storm that is blanketing most of Kansas will delay the start of the state high school wrestling tournaments.

Organizers say the tournaments will start two hours later than scheduled on Friday. Weigh-ins will begin at 9 a.m., with first round competition starting at noon.

Classes 6 and 5A tournaments are scheduled at Hartman Arena in Park City. The Class 4A tournament will be in Salina, with classes 3-1A in Hays.

Liberal’s three wrestlers and head coach Matt Sleder departed Wednesday afternoon for the tournament. Cody Smith, Ayodale Braimah, and Trenton Wilson are set to compete at state for the Redskins Friday.
