The Winslow High School wrestling team placed 26th among the 45 teams in the state Division 3 tournament last weekend. The Bulldogs had 24 points and were the top scoring team from the 3A North Region. Thunderbird High School won the meet with a total of 158.5 points, just one point more than second place Mingus. Rio Rico was third at 127 and Safford was fourth and the top 3A Conference team with a score of 103.5.
Paul Jaramillo was the only Winslow wrestler to place, coming in third in the 119-lb. division. He won his qualifying meet. Jaramillo is a junior and will return to the Winslow team next season.
Winslow’s other two wrestlers in the tournament were both freshmen. Daniel Lopez and Jace Hardy placed fourth and fifth in the earlier qualifying tournament. Both are expected to be stalwarts on the team during the rest of their high school careers.
