History was made today for the Crete boys wrestling team! This group of kids set a record for most dual wins in Crete wrestling history today with 13. Our kids have filled every weight in each dual we have competed in as well this year as we set a new standard for our program.

This past weekend, the Lincoln Journal Star recognized JR. WR/DB, Peyton Steuer, as a First Team Class B All State Selection as an Athlete. This is Crete's first First-Team selection in nearly 10 years. Congratulations to Peyton and to his teammates who made all of this possible!
