Burchard wins via fall in the semi-final round in the class 5A regional at Blue Valley Southwest. “The match started a little shaky at first, and I was nervous initially, but I just had to weather the storm and let the match come to me,” Burchard said. “I have wrestled the opponent I will have in the finals before and defeated him, but I just need to wrestle my match and control what I can control.”
St. James Academy senior Mio Cregan whips his opponent over to his back.

Cregan wins by fall to advance to the class 5A regional semi-final. “It feels good to get back onto the mat and be able to wrestle in competition again. I have been out for two months dealing with an injury and decided to push through the pain and finish my senior year strong,” Cregan said. “I am ready to compete and will get to my offense.”
Cregan is the third-place finisher at the class 5A regional competition.
