Neither of the Spartans’ state-qualifiers was ranked (by IWCOA.net) among the top six for the IHSA Class 1A state tournament, which begins on Thursday at the UI State Farm Center.
At 113 pounds, A.J. Wagner (41-8) has more wins than any of the other 15 candidates in his weight class. In the first round, Wagner will take on fifth-ranked Michael DiBenedetto, from IC Catholic.
At 145 pounds, Isaiah Immke will start with Robinson’s Jeff Hermann. The winner will likely draw third-ranked Alex Carrillo, from Nazareth Academy, in the second round.
