Phelps started his tournament journey on Friday, going 1-1 on the opening day of the state championships.

Phelps triumphed in his blood round match with an intense pin in double overtime on Saturday, securing his spot as the first-ever state placer in Riverdale Falcon wrestling history and advancing to the Quarterfinals.

Phelps continued his impressive run later that evening in the Quarterfinals, where he earned a hard-fought 7-4 decision and advanced to the Consolation Semifinals.

On Sunday, he capped off a phenomenal season by wrestling his way to a 5th place finish and landed his spot on the podium, making Riverdale Falcon history.
