Defending 215-pound Class 6A state wrestling champ Kyle Caylor is looking to repeat in his junior season. Caylor, also a national champion in Greco-Roman and Freestyle, switches out his helmet for headgear this December, following the Wichita Northwest football season, which ended at Derby in the state quarterfinals. Caylor goes for the pin on the mats, says his signature move is the college shrug and he hopes to wrestle in the Olympic Training Program next year.
