Walton loses 2023 State Qualifier Hudson Jones, but return a ton of talent in State Runner-up Emil Necula, State Placer Jake Rheaume, and State Qualifier Jax Mitchell. Walton finished 14th at last year’s traditional state tournament, but expect them to push for a top 10 finish in 2024. Necula and Rheaume will both be hunting the top step and Mitchell will look to make the podium as well. The key for a solid top 10 finish is the continued development of the rest of the squad. Andrew Lynch, Liam Miller, Aiden Kohn, Mason Smith, and Hudson Beard all qualified for sectionals last year and will look to punch their ticket to Macon this year. Don’t be surprised to see as many as 8 or 9 Raiders on the mats in Macon the final weekend of the season. Keep an eye on Peter Gross, Ryan Lee, and a handful of others to make an impact this season. - SEWrestle
