Regionals is the start of a crazy week for our wrestlers. This tournament determines if the wrestlers get to go to State, in order to go you have to place in the top four. The schools in our region this year included Pueblo East, Cheyenne Mountain, Central Grand Junction, Falcon, Montrose, Pueblo Centennial, Widefield, Sand Creek, Canon City, Durango, Palmer, Pueblo South, Harrison, and Mitchell.

The tournament was held in Colorado Springs, at Cheyenne Mountain. Before the tournament Pueblo East was ranked 2nd right under Windsor. After a crazy two days here are the results.
