Wrestlers from 12 schools in four states competed in the 38th annual Wrestling Invitational from 9 a.m. until late afternoon on Saturday at the ONU Sports Center.
The fieldhouse was completely covered with mats as multiple matches took place simultaneously throughout the day during the double-elimination event.

Mason Stombaugh, 5, and brother Jayden, 11, tell Santa their wish list. The children are the sons of Ashley and Dave Stombaugh of Wapakoneta.
