The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening, recognized the Atlantic/CAM High School Wrestling Team for their efforts that led them to the State Wrestling Tournament.

Some of the athletes who comprise the Atlantic/CAM Wrestling team and their coaches.

Coach Tim Duff said John McConkey was the State Champion for the Trojans at 285 pounds. Kole Hansen, at 126-lbs, was a four-time State qualifier and two-time State place winner who graduates this year. Hansen set the school record for all-time wins this year, at 167. Sophomore Aybren Moore was a District qualifier for the Trojans, one match away from going to the State Tournament. Other players were mentioned for their accomplishments, as well.

Duff said McConkey will wrestle for the University of Northern Iowa next season. He was a three-time State qualifier all three-years, placing eighth, second and first. Dudd said McConkey dominated his weight class in Southwest Iowa, “and pretty much the entire State. He’s probably the best heavyweight in the State of Iowa, this year. He had a tremendous career and a tremendous season.”

Coach Duff thanked the Council for inviting the team and coaches. He said the team has “An outstanding coaching staff.”
