Kyle Bednar
Jon Andres
Nathan Britz
Kyle Girtz
Matt Mrnak
The Pioneers started very slowly and quietly and then Coach Jensen got the Pioneers pumped up against GMLOK. They were firing on all cylinders for the semifinals and in the championship. This is a very special tribute to a team that was really limping at the beginning of January and to come back and get nearly all their wrestlers healthy enough to compete.

Spencer Lund
Jason Losing
Matt Leither
Ben Meyer
Billy Wheeler
Nic Leither
The Falcons competed at the state tourney without one of their captions Aaron Rouser. He was medically unable to compete; surely now this could have affected the out come of these matches with a 30+ match winner sitting on the bench.
Jason Losing 12th 135 lbs Third Place 44-4
Adam Hoeper 12th 119 lbs Third Place 39-10
Spencer Lund 12th 152 lbs Fourth Place 43-6
