The 2015-16 all-state wrestling teams are led by Ryan Deakin of Legacy, Parker Simington of Thompson Valley, Jimmy Fate of Berthoud, and TJ Shelton of Meeker.
In addition to the tension of wrestling for individual state championships, 10 wrestlers entering Saturday’s Class 2A state finals had the added pressure of knowing their matches could well determine the all-prestigious team championship.
Meeker's TJ Shelton opened his quest for a fourth title with a pin of Wiggins' Dillon Donaghy in 49 seconds in the first round of Thursday's Class 2A state wrestling tournament.
