EASTERN IDAHO — Local wrestlers enjoyed a successful business trip to Boise last week, with numerous medals and five team banners finding homes in eastern Idaho.
One of the local athletes to win an individual state championship was American Falls senior Nate Gugelman II, who joined a rare club by becoming a four-time state champ.
“That’s kind of been the goal all along,” Gugelman II told EastIdahoSports.com. “I always want to shoot for the stars.”
While wrestling champions were being crowned, boys’ basketball teams were qualifying for the upcoming state tournament.
Here are some of our favorite photos from the last week of action.
