T9. Preston Martin (Paola)
Projected high school weight class: 132
Projected college weight class: 133

Analysis: Preston is a three-time state champion with a career 119-8 record. He capped off a stellar junior season with a Fargo Junior Greco placement. This kid is a warrior. He had huge wins for our national dual team and is an absolute crowd pleaser. His senior season is sure to resemble a freight train!

Words from the corner: "Preston will be trying to become the only four-tijme state champ in Paola High School history. He has put more work into wrestling this summer than he has ever done in his life. The work has paid off so far by becoming a Greco All-American at Fargo this past summer. He is a very unique wrestler with a unique style. Preston is a true definition of a student-athlete, earning good grades and showing up to school every day. He has volunteered and helped with all wrestling fundraisers over the past three years to help the team. Preston is hoping to go to college and wrestle or pole vault and wouldn't mind doing both if he can." -- Coach Darvin Willard

T9. Tony Caldwell (Valley Center)
Projected high school weight class: 285
Projected college weight class: 285

Analysis: Every once in a while you have a wrestler on your traveling teams that has a rare character that seems immune to adversity. I will always remember Caldwell as one of those guys. He loves and lives the sport. With a 93-38 record, he is a two-time state finalist and a two-time Fargo All-American. As a teammate, you will not find a better one.

Words from the corner: "Tony has worked very hard all offseason to get back to the finals again this year and end his high school career with a state title. Tony is a phenomenal leader in the wrestling room and outside the wrestling room. He plans to wrestle at the next level in college and wants to major in sports medicine." -- Coach Justin Schwartz
