The 2nd week of January saw some amazing action in tournaments from Cache to Catoosa and several places in between. At the Greg Henning Invitational, Tuttle welcomed back 2X state champion and 3X medalist Braden Potts and 2x finalist and state champion Tucker Waitman back into the line-up. Their return will certainly have an impact on the rankings that will come out later this week.
Listed below are the top three teams at the Oklahoma tournaments. All of the tournament results can be found in the Tournament Results section on the home page of the OWrestle website.
