Manhattan Junior High Wrestling 2025–2026 Season Recap 🏆
And just like that, the 2025–2026 Wrestling Season has come to a close for Manhattan Junior High. Competing proudly in royal blue, black, and white, the Demons finished an incredible year with a Runner-Up finish at the State Tournament, highlighted by the program’s first-ever state finalists (2) and its first-ever 5th grade All-State medalists (2).
This program began seven seasons ago at MJHS with roughly 15 student-athletes. This year, 84 athletes registered for the team. Heading into the state series, the program had produced 5 All-State medalists and 21 state qualifiers. After this weekend, those numbers jumped to 11 All-State medalists and 30 state qualifiers, a testament to the growth, dedication, and hard work of our athletes.
🥇 All-State Honors:
• 2nd Place – 2
• 3rd Place – 2
• 4th Place – 1
• 5th Place – 1
A huge congratulations to our coaches for their leadership and commitment to the program as well. Thank you for all you do, Coach Galassi, Coach Quinn, Coach Egan, Coach Satka, and Coach Ebel!
Your dedication continues to build something special at Manhattan Junior High. Way to go, Demons! Congratulations on another outstanding season! 🤍🖤💙
