After a semester in Kansas with no competition, St. Mary did not compete in any sports in the fall semester due to COVID-19. Mahaffey, the 6A state third-place finisher at 113 pounds for the Millers in 2020, is coming closer to home to finish out his college career.

We are excited to officially welcome Cooper Mahaffey to the OCU Wrestling Family! Including Coach Gomez, the team now has 4 former Yukon Millers!
