IVL wrestling finals: Individual results

- STAFF REPORT

The big news in Valley sports on Wednesday was undoubtedl­y the Imperial Tigers claiming the 2018-19 Imperial Valley League wrestling title, by virtue of winning the IVL finals tournament held in Brawley.

But the Tigers weren’t the only winners at the event. The tournament also allocated individual honors to the top performers at each weight-class.
