BRONC WRESTLING – If you understand anything about wrestling, you’ll know that one Sheridan high school All-American was out for blood, so to speak.

Sophomore Dane Steel placed 5th in the sophomore 145 pound weight class at the National High School Athletic Coaches Association Folkstyle wrestling national championship tournament 2 weeks ago in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

A wrestler must finish in the top 8, to receive All-American status.

Last year as a freshman, Steel’s All-American hopes were dashed in the blood round, which was the round he had to win to finish in the top 8.

He says the competition at the national tournament is much different compared to the regular season in Wyoming. Steel is this year’s Wyoming 4A state champ at 152 pounds and had a record of 47-and-2.
