Outlook: The Vikings had their best showing at the state meet in many years, but they graduated one of their most accomplished wrestlers of all time in Geiger. Creighton Medeiros also scored points at the state meet that must be replaced. Gudeahn-Alleano lead the charge after reaching the Class A consolation finals a year ago. Bang, whose older brothers trained and competed successfully with Oxford Hills in the past, leads the Edward Little contingent.
