“I am so proud of how both of them
competed this year,” Argyle wrestling coach Bobby Morse said. “Cullen has fallen one match short for the past two years to finish third. This year, he battled through an unprecedented and chaotic season as well as a senior injury to claim the top spot on the podium. “Jax had a tough loss in the quarterfinals, but came back to win three straight matches to claim his spot on the podium in fifth,” Morse added. “These guys have both shown the grit and determination that it takes to achieve success in wrestling.”
