A trio of Antigo Wrestling Club members found the podium, with Olivia Hofrichter and Jordy Pregler finishing in 5^th, and Elia Peterson finishing in 6^th at the WWF Kids Folkstyle State Championships.

Olivia Hofrichter started her day with a match against Zyon Branch-Pemma of Laona-Wabeno.  Hofrichter was able to shoot an outside single and bring Branch-Pemma to the mat for the initial takedown 25 seconds into the match.

Hofrichter chose to start the second period in neutral, and Faulkner shot in immediately to start the period. After a scramble on the mat that lasted nearly a half minute, Faulkner was able to find herself on top for the takedown. Faulkner then used a power half with both of her legs in to earn 2 nearfall points, and then used a cradle for an additional 3 points and a 9-0 lead going into the third.

Faulkner chose to start the third in neutral, and earned a point when Hofrichter was penalized for an illegal hold while defending a takedown attempt. Faulkner then used another double leg attack for a takedown 24 seconds into the period. Faulkner then was able to drive Hofrichter over with a half nelson, earning the pinfall victory at 4:12.

The fifth-place match saw Hofrichter compete with Vala Pollock of Top Dawg.

In the fifth-place match, Pregler faced conference foe Gavin Snider-Dotter of Rhinelander. Pregler was able to snap Snider-Dotter down to the mat, and then circled around his opponent for the initial takedown. In the scramble to secure the takedown, Pregler was able to trap his opponent’s arm, and used that to secure the pinfall victory at 40 seconds. The victory put Pregler in 5^th place on the podium.

Elia Peterson also found the podium, finishing in sixth place. After a first-round bye, Peterson faced Lacie Whipple of Hortonville. Neither wrestler was able to secure a takedown in the first period, and Whipple chose to start the second period on the bottom. Whipple was unable to break free from the strong ride of Peterson, and the match entered the third period deadlocked at zero.

Peterson chose to start the third period on bottom. Peterson was able to cut the corner on a stand-up attempt to get to the leg of Whipple, earning Peterson the reversal with 28 seconds to go in the match. Peterson would not allow Whipple to even get back to her base, leading to a 2-0 win for Peterson.

In the semifinals, Peterson faced Charlotte Leeman of Shiocton. Peterson was able to score first, using an armdrag to gain a takedown 19 seconds into the match. Peterson once again showed some great riding, not allowing Leeman any space the rest of the period.

In the second period, Leeman chose to start on the bottom, and was able to score an escape 24 seconds into the round. With 15 seconds remaining in the period, Leeman was able to drive through a double leg and use a half nelson for the takedown and 3 nearfall points, giving Leeman a 6-2 lead.

Peterson chose to start on top for the third period, and Leeman was able to score an escape with a stand up. That would be the end of the scoring in the match, with Leeman advancing to the finals with the 7-2 victory.

In the consolation semifinals, Peterson faced Audrey Brandt of Two Rivers. Brandt was able to counter a single leg attempt by Peterson for the initial takedown at the midpoint of the first round.

Entering the second period with a 2-0 lead, Brandt chose to start on top. Brandt was able to use a half nelson to earn the pinfall victory 13 seconds into the second round.

In the fifth-place match, Peterson faced Nola Coppens of Oconto Falls. Peterson was able to score early, using a single leg and trip for the takedown 13 seconds into the match. Coppens would tie the match using a roll and hip over for the reversal with 15 seconds left in the period.

Coppens was then able to hip over on a roll attempt, scoring the reversal and eventual pinfall victory 42 seconds into the round. Peterson ended the day in sixth place.

Competing well on the day, but missing the podium was Cameron Williams. Williams was able to mount a third period comeback against Nathan Rowe of Kaukauna. Down 4-1 to start the period, Williams was able to secure a reversal and 3 nearfall to pick up the 6-4 victory in the first round.

After dropping a match to Jase Strandlie of Prairie du Chien, Williams was able to defeat Marshall McCarty of Campbellsport with a takedown in overtime. In what was another exciting match, Williams jumped to a 5-0 lead using a takedown and 3 nearfall points, before a late reversal by McCarty cut the lead to 5-2.
