And despite some challenging brackets, West Point-Beemer closed out the A-2 District meet February 3-4 at Madison with three state qualifiers: Brooklin Kuester, Claire Paasch and Lizbeth Gonzalez.

Kuester (120) and Paasch (190), both seniors, are returning state qualifiers. Gonzalez, a freshman, is a first-time qualifier at 235 pounds.
