The Benjamin Russe wrestling team took its three state qualifiers to the AHSAA wrestling tournament over the weekend, with plenty of impressive matches to show for it.

Arguably, one of the biggest days came from the Wildcats Brooklyn Cottingham, who has been a steady presence all year for Benjamin Russell. After punching her ticket with a second-place finish at the South Sectional the weekend prior, Cottingham was automatically placed in the Quarterfinals.
