The Yellowjackets won the 2026 North Plains District championship & considering they return 7 of their starters from last season, I'd say it's a safe bet that they're going to win again in 2027. Gone is sensational HWT Cito Tuttle, a two-time NJCAA All-American with 8th & 5th place finishes. Jake Aho & Kley Krause, both NJCAA R12 last season, are also moving on. Haven't heard anything on where they are headed, but all three are going to make excellent additions regardless of where they end up.
As to the massive amount of talent returning...
 |
| 125 Ryan Tschetter |
One match shy of being an NJCAA All-American last season, Ryan Tschetter won a North Plains District title.
 |
| 133 Robert Wicks |
The Mankato native took a gold medal at last year's North Plains District.
 |
| 149 Gunnar Johnson |
 |
| 157 Jonas Petrie |
I would imagine that Jonas Petrie heads into '26-'27 with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Settling for 3rd at the North Plains District, he was the only Yellow Jacket last season to not win his bracket.
 |
| 174 Vinny Alm |
Looking at the 2026 North Plains District champ at 174.
 |
| 184 Deangelo Sardina |
 |
| 197 Sonnie Deheer |
And of course, the 2026 197 lbs North Plains District champ.

The Yellow Jackets have the potential to crown 6 two-time North Plains District champs this year! Is that a team full of talent or what?
