The Broncs will see four wrestlers battle for state titles on Saturday, including junior Meadow Mahlmeister who won her semifinal by first-round pin. She's looking to three-peat and stay on track to become one of Montana's first high school four-time girls champions.
Hayley Petersen, a junior from Simms, is also looking to follow a similar course as Mahlmeister as she seeks a third-straight title, winning her semifinal with a second-round pin.
