Congratulations to Mark Schiefelbein on an incredible achievement as the State Class A Runner-Up in the Individual Class A State Tournament at 160 pounds!
Reaching the championship round is a testament to Mark’s hard work, determination, and resilience throughout the season and over the years. Competing at that level requires tremendous dedication, and earning a spot in the finals is something to be extremely proud of.
