Seventy Tea youth wrestlers participated in the Region 5 AAU wrestling tournament in Hartford on Saturday, March 9th. The Titans had fifty-one wrestlers place in the top six at the region tournament.  Thirty-two of those wrestlers punched their ticket to the SDWCA State Youth Wrestling Tournament to be held in Rapid City on March 15-17th.  

The top three wrestlers from each weight class in all age divisions advance to the State tournament except the Bantam division where the top four advance.  There were 618 wrestlers competing at the Region tournament from twenty-four different clubs.
