Christian Miller aka BurroughsJunior was a 4x champion at Plainview and his fierce fighting spirit will never be forgotten. We had some great banter and talks about the sport and I never met a kid that wanted to win more. My condolences to his family, Plainview and GBR wrestling.

Max Hughes was one of the fiercest competitors we've ever had in our state. His record of achievement in our sport was gigantic. My deepest condolences to Jon, Barb and Bailey. May God comfort you all in this darkest of times. The wrestling community mourns with you today.

We can confirm the passing of state medalist Ashton Schweitzer of Broken Bow, formerly of Pierce. Lots of people in both communities hurting right now. Please keep them in your hearts during this difficult this time. A significant loss of a great young wrestler and student.

Ryan Christo was originally from Albion. Wrestled 185 in the 1995 state Class B championship team. Was state champ in 1996 at 189. Sounds like he was able to watch his son Blaine compete at state before passing. Just 41 years old 😢
