Qualifying for the state tournament is the goal of every wrestler at the start of the season, but once they achieve that and make the trip to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, everything changes.
The goal is no longer just to make it to state, but see how well they can do against the best wrestlers in Minnesota. Ranks don’t mean much at this level because most of the guys there are capable of beating each other, and all it takes is one wrong move to derail a championship run.
The Charger wrestling squad sent five wrestlers to state: seniors Max Anderson (112 pounds), Brandon Fiedler (119) and Sam Pokornowski (285), and juniors Tyler Irvin (189) and Dakota Hanson (215). After four days of competition, only two Chargers remained to take the walk in the Parade of Champions Saturday evening.
In his second and final trip to the state tournament, Anderson finished with a 4-2 record and earned a fourth-place medal. Fiedler, in his first and only trip to state, left with a sixth-place medal around his neck and a 2-3 record.
Following is a recap of all five Charger wrestlers’ trips to state.
