Greene County High School senior-to-be McKinley Robbins of rural Scranton placed in the top 16 at the US Marine Corp Jr. National Freestyle Wrestling Tournament earlier this week in Fargo, North Dakota. Robbins was part of the Iowa team that won the team title and he’s a member of Sebolt Wrestling Academy of Jefferson.
Robbins wrestled at 138 lbs. and the bracket had more than 130 wrestlers in it. He won his first two matches on Sunday, and his round of 32 match on Tuesday, all handily. In the round of 16, he fell 8-3, then lost in the consolation round 8-6 to finish with a 3-2 record.
Kale Petersen, also a senior-to-be at Greene County, qualified for the Fargo Nationals, but an injury kept him from competing.
