Josh Hansen of Albert Lea, top, battles Mike Meger of Owatonna

during the 112-pound championship match of the Section 1AAA Individual

Wrestling Tournament Saturday night at the Mayo Civic Center in

Rochester. Hansen, last year’s 103-pound state champion, lost

this match 10-5 but still advanced to state, along with teammates

Adam Elseth, Adam Morreim and Dustin Eggum. They wrestle Thursday

at 8:30 a.m. in the opening round at state.
