POPLAR GROVE – Stand out wrestlers Brandon Briggs and Tyler Westlund, former wrestlers for the North Boone High School Vikings, are continuing their wrestling careers after high school.

Briggs, a 2015 graduate, is attending St. Cloud State in St. Cloud, Minn. Brandon is majoring in Health and Physical Education. He is currently training and looking forward to his first collegiate match. He should be a strong asset to this NCAA D2 Championship team.

Westlund, a 2013 graduate was selected to the All Air Force Greco/ Freestyle team. Tyler is stationed at Wright-Patteron Airforce Base in Dayton, Ohio.

Recently winning a silver medal at the National Armed Forces Tournament, he is now preparing for more National and International Tournaments, with a focus on the Olympic trials.

Congratulations and good luck to our local wrestlers.
