Junction City came away with a first place finish in the team competition at a seven-team dual invitational that they hosted on Saturday.
The Blue Jays went 5-0 in team competition. Coach Tyler Gonzales felt the team got off to a good start. "It was a good tournament for us to gauge where we're at the beginning of the year. We've got some kids with some varsity experience, we've got some kids wrestling varsity for the first time. So today was what it needed to be. "
The coach credited Logan Nabus at 170 pounds, Ezekial Witt at 106 pounds for strong performances. "Just excited to see the kids going out there and competing."
Hays finished second in the tournament with a record of 4-1 while Olathe West was third at 3-2.
The Blue Jays will wrestle at Shawnee Heights Wednesday night.
