Four Albert Lea wrestlers made their way back to the field Thursday.

At 145 Adam Kermes will wrestle Charlie Janssen, of Forest Lake, in the wrestlebacks.

Logan Kortan is still alive in the tournament in the wrestlebacks and will face Minnetonka’s Colton Gleason. Gleason lost to Zak Coates by injury default, so it will be interesting to see if he is able to go against Kortan because it would be a No. 3 versus No. 4 matchup.
