Bethel High School and the Kuskokwim Learning Academy represented the region well, with several medals being brought back to the YK Delta.

Bethel Warrior Tristen Evan came in first in the 113 lbs. weight class, and teammate Aaron Olsen came out top wrestler in the 132 lbs. weight class.

Two Bethel Warriors took second place: Thomas Dyment in the 98 lbs. weight class and Avery Hoffman in the 106 lbs. weight class.

KLA’s Brandon Evans brought home the gold in the 126 lbs. weight class.
