20 Champs. One Cave.

The 2026 CHSAA Wreesting Champions was a strong showing for Bear Cave athletes.

This year, 20 wrestlers who train at Bear Cave finished the season as State Champions, earning titles across multiple classifications from 2A through 5A.

That kind of representation doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects steady development, competitive training environments, and athletes who consistently put in the work.

We’re proud of every wrestler who trusted our process and coaching staff this season. And we’re especially proud of these 20 warriors who finished on top.

Congratulations to all of our state champions and their families. The work continues.
