The two-day event included Boys Varsity and JV and Girls Varsity.

The JV boys took first place with three wrestlers with four wins - Trevor Johnson, Logan Bauer and Jakob Lloyd. Four wrestlers had five wins - Brayden McMullan, Zach Dalton, Timothy Robinson and Kaleb Clark, who was undefeated at 5-0, taking the championship in the 190 pound weight class. Bauers was second at 175 pounds, with Dalton also placing second at 150 pounds. All these wrestlers helped lead the way for Green River to take the team title.
After the Ron Thon, Head Wrestling Coach Josh Wisniewski commented that "the meet was a positive experience for us. We observed improvement and identified some areas for further development."
He went on to say that "as a team, we are progressing toward our goal of reaching our peak performance for the postseason. Our focus remains on continuous improvement, both on and off the mat."
Wisniewski continued: "At this stage of the season, our focus is on wrestling duals until the postseason. This provides us with an opportunity to refine our skills and prioritize our physical well being."
Coach Wisniewski concluded that "we eagerly anticipate the upcoming dual in Star Valley on Thursday. It will serve as a significant challenge against the formidable Star Valley team. While competing at Star Valley is always demanding," the coach went on, "we are fully prepared to showcase our readiness and competitive spirit."
