Teasdale is currently the 44th three-time champion with a 13-5 win against Austin Clabaugh from Bermudian Springs. “Clabaugh gave Teasdale, now a three-time state champion, a rare fight and even got a chance to wrestle the match on his own terms, something few of Teasdale’s opponents have done in the face of constant offense” said High School Sports.
