Former KS High School Athletes in College

Several former area wrestlers had great finishes to their seasons in the college ranks this season.

Chase Nelson, formerly from Wichita Heights, won the Junior College National Championship at 157 pounds for Labette County.

Fellow freshman Tyler Caldwell, a former four-time state champion from Goddard, finished fifth for Oklahoma in the NCAA Division I tournament at 165 pounds. Sooner teammate and also a former Heights wrestler Kendric Maple qualified, but did not place at 133 pounds for Oklahoma. Maple was 2-2 at the Division I tournament.

Do you know of any other former Kansas High School athletes making noise in the collegiate ranks? Leave a comment and let us know!
