On friday, Aitkin wrestlers Luke Pelarski, Carter Endrizzi, Cedric Farnsworth and Tyler Spolarich all punched their tickets into the state tournament. Tyler Spolarich won his bracket outright with the other three boys taking second. This will be all of the boys’ first time competing in the state tournament.
“All of my teammates that are going to state worked very hard to get there,” said teammate Quin Miller. “They put in the time to get there and I’m very excited to see what they can do.”
Pelarski, who earned his trip to state in a thrilling overtime, win-or-go-home match, had this to say about the season: “It would’ve been a disappointment for sure if I wouldn’t have gone to state. We all worked hard this year, really dug down deep.”
The individual tournament for Class A will begin on March 2 at 1 p.m. at the Xcel Energy Center. Tyler Spolarich (31-13) will wrestle Seth Brossard (35-2) at 145, Carter Endrizzi (28-18) will wrestle Zach Buseman (39-5) at 152, Cedric Farnsworth (29-9) will wrestle Logan Quam (27-5) at 182, and Luke Pelarski (36-13) will wrestle Kyle Cavanaugh (28-4) at 138.
