Great Bend should have a decent crop of wrestlers returning next year and for a few years to come. They have seven returning state qualifiers. The down fall is they only have one returning state placer, Joe Schridde state runner up. Of the seven returners they have 2 upcoming seniors(Joe Schridde and Tyler Klein), 3 upcoming juniors(Slade Geisen, Cody Schridde, Edgar Roman) and 2 upcoming sophmores (Aron Elsen and Aron Blew). They also have a few salty freshman additions, including Nick Schwager, multiple time kids state placer. Also 3 of Great Bends returning varsity wrestlers placed at this past years Brute nationals.
