Gavin Owens (45-7) last year qualified for state at 120 pounds, Brandon Hahn (48-2) at 126 and Jimmy Recknagel (40-11) at 152. All are already off to a good start this year, winning individual titles at the seven-team Lakota Pool Tourney. Last year, Maynard, Xavier Escobedo and Owens were NBC champions and Hahn won a sectional and district championship, plus he excelled at top D-III tournaments hosted by Van Buren and Lima Central Catholic. Owens is a junior this year, Hahn and Recknagel are seniors.
