Nik Vargas and Zach Moore (120 lbs.), Malik Haythorne (145 lbs.), Jeremy Hazlett and Jimmy Huynh (160 lbs.), Erik Johannessen (170 lbs.) and Jairo Barahona (182 lbs.) earned automatic bids into Regionals.

Abdu “Muhammad” Ali and Cole Thatcher earned alternate spots.

The wrestlers take to the mats at 10 a.m. Saturday at Kelso High School for their shot at the Mat Classic.
