113-pound Braden Haines, 152-pound Jacob Cookery, 170-pound Greg Glover and 220-pound Leighton Jones also climbed at least one spot in the latest rankings.
About the Field
Twelve teams are a part of the IHSWCA Class 3A Field. Teams are determined by a number of different factors including the amount of points a team earned in the previous season's IHSAA individual state series. Dual wins and losses during the current season are taken into account for determining team seeds.
Brownsburg finished in first place last season at the IHSAA Wrestling Semi-State in Evansville to earn an automatic invite to this year's Team State Duals.
Seven of the top-ten teams in the latest Indiana Mat Overall Team rankings will compete for a 2020 IHSWCA Class 3A Team State Duals championship this weekend. No.11 Avon, No.3 Brownsburg, No.8 Carmel, Carrol (FW), No.1 Cathedral, Columbus East, No.2 Evansville Mater Dei, Mishawaka, Penn, No.7 Perry Meridian, No.10 Roncalli and No.5 Warren Central are all a part of the IHSWCA Class 3A field.
Brownsburg is grouped with Penn and Carmel in "Pool C" and will wrestle the Kingsmen and Greyhounds in their first two duals of the day. Team records in the pool stage will determine placement in the bracket stage later in the day.
The first-place teams will be grouped in one bracket to determine the 2020 IHSWCA Class 3A Team State Duals champion.
