More: Rapid reactions from Iowa high school state wrestling Class 2A & 1A

Dowling Catholic, Indianola, Waukee Northwest and Urbandale sit in top 10

• The Maroons are performing at an admirable level behind the Rams. They have four semifinalists —Cruz Gannon (106), Jack Wallukait (113), Kyler Simons (138) and Brady Hagan (285). Gannon and Wallukait both have legitimate state title aspirations and could give the Maroons their first state title winner since Evan Frost in 2022.
• Indianola is in third, with Elijah Bleweitt (150) and Mac Crosson (165) each seeking state championships. Within striking distance of second place, Indianola can still affirm itself as one of the most complete teams in the state with its finish after taking second at the state duals championships.
• Waukee Northwest’s young squad has three semifinalists — Carew Christensen (113), Hayden Hutt (144) and Henry Mohr (285). Hutt fell short of making the podium as a freshman, but said his hard work in the offseason helped him reach a top six or better finish this year. Still, he has aspirations of winning a title.
• Urbandale is ninth with Caleb Arroyo into the semifinals at 132 pounds. A two-time state medalist, this is his first time reaching the final four of his weight class.
