Area Roundup: Four area wrestlers qualify for state

Three area wrestlers will make a return trip to Wells Fargo Arena for the state wrestling tournament, while one will be making the trip for the first time.

Colfax-Mingo's Jimmy Abell (106 pounds) and Dylan Albright (170) and Lynnville-Sully's Meliek Meyer (152) and Caden Doll (160) all qualified for state with their performances in a Class 1A district meet at Pleasantville. Out of the four, Meyer is the only first-time qualifier.

Abell (ranked No. 5 in Class 1A) and Albright each finished second in the districts to gain entry to state for the second year in a row. Abell scored a pin in wrestlebacks, while Albright earned a 10-4 decision.
