The Rockets finished in sixth place in the team standings in the 16-school field with 130.5 points, despite being without several key wrestlers. Thornapple Kellogg took first place with 168 points.
“It was really good for our guys to see some high-level competition from across the state,” said R-P Coach Jared Fleming. “There were lots of good matchups with high-ranking opponents. There is a different feel to these (individual) tournaments, and I am really proud of how we performed.”
