Jeffrey Martin, a CCS sixth grader, placed first at districts and third at state and will now be competing at the USA Wrestling Nationals in Council Bluffs, Iowa this weekend March 29-30. Placing in the Top 4 at State qualifies wrestlers for the National competition. Martin was also contacted by an AAU wrestling coach to attend their organization’s national competition in Tennessee, April 3-8. He will be on Team Nebraska for both the USA and AAU national meets. Thanks to the Chase County Wrestling Club for helping and supporting these young athletes.
