VALLEY CENTER — Competing in a season-opening wrestling meet in the Valley Center Duals, Great Bend High School captured second in the Gold Pool with a 4-1 record, good for third place overall out of eight teams.
Host Valley Center won the meet, followed by Derby and then the Panthers.
A state champion as a sophomore two years ago and a state runner-up last season, Chris Burley, competing at 126 as a senior, won all five of his matches to open the season for GBHS.
Ryan DesLauriers (106), a two-time state qualifier, finished with a 4-1 record, as did two-time qualifier Greg Burley (145), who won his final four matches after losing his first.
Great Bend travels to Dodge City on Thursday for a dual.
