BURLINGTON Both the Humboldt and Iola middle school wrestling teams opened up their seasons at the 20th Annual Burlington Bobcat Invitational on Monday.
For Humboldt, the meet was the first in program history. Its been three years since the high school team was founded and their success and high turnout spurred the school board into adding a middle school team for this season.
The Cubs had three first-place finishes.
For Iola, the Ponies look to take advantage of their strong numbers this season.
Five Ponies placed first at Burlington.
Here are the results:
