Manhattan Wrestling Brings Home Four Medalists By David Donnert Manhattan took five wrestlers Saturday to the class 6A state wrestling championships at Hartman Arena in Park City Saturday. There was hardly anything normal about this state tournament. With COVID-19 restrictions, state was scaled down from two days to one, from 16 wrestlers per weight class to 8. Class 6A would not wrestle alongside 5A and limited fans in the stands. Only thing normal was the exceptional quality of competition each wrestler faced Saturday. In the previous two weeks of qualifying for state, the Indians came out fast and furious, but that didn’t carry over for a third week in a row. Three wrestlers lost in the first round, those coming out with wins were junior Easton Taylor at 132 pounds and K-State football commit senior Damian Ilalio at 285 pounds, moving both wrestlers to the championship semifinals.
