Snell ranked No. 2 in Class 1A

Interstate-35's Ryley Snell celebrates after match win in the district round. Snell was ranked No. 2 in Class 1A's 285 weight class for the 2019-20 wrestling preseason Monday afternoon.

Snell was a state qualifier for I-35 last season, winning his opening match at The Well in the 285 class against Emmetsburg's Calvin Hart in a technical fall (17-2) win. He was then bounced by eventual fifth place finisher Chandler Redenius of West Hancock.

Snell then fell in the third round of the consolation bracket, getting eliminated in the wrestleback by Westwood, Sloan's Trenton Dirks.

Interstate 35 and Snell start the wrestling season Dec. 3 in a double dual at Winterset high school.
