Despite what its record might indicate, the road to state wasn’t easily paved for the Anoka wrestling team. The Tornadoes are 23-2 in duals, with their only losses to Buchanan High School out of California and Apple Valley, the No. 2 team in Minnesota Class AAA.

Anoka cruised through its Northwest Suburban Conference schedule and its first two duals in the Section 7AAA tournament on Feb. 17 in Forest Lake. But the section championship was a meeting the Tornadoes were looking forward to all year.
