One statewide media publication has selected two West Central Valley wrestlers in their individual top 10 rankings this week. IA Wrestle released their poll Tuesday, and Wildcat seniors Quest Brown (120) and Riley Algreen (182) are among the ten best wrestlers in Class 1A. The pair each won 30 matches a season ago, and both competed in the Class 1A state wrestling tournament last February.
Brown enters the season as the preseason No. 8 ranked wrestler at 120 pounds. He posted a 33-14 record as a junior last season at 113 pounds, making it to the second day of the Iowa State Wrestling tournament. Algreen received the No. 10 preseason ranking at 182 pounds. His overall record was 30-15 last season at 182 pounds, bowing out of the Iowa State Wrestling tournament during the competition’s first day. A new season of West Central Valley wrestling starts next Thursday in Afton against Nodaway Valley, AC/GC, and East Union in dual action.
