Three Okoboji/Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn wrestlers climbed their way up to the 100th annual Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) State Wrestling Championships last week inside Wells Fargo Arena, but their ascents ended short of podium on day two of the tournament.

“Getting three guys down here is huge for any program,” Okoboji/HMS coach Nate Dau said. “It’s a milestone for any wrestler, and it's even amplified in the state of Iowa.”
