Vikings bring home hardware from state

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s Individual Wrestling Championships ended Monday at the First Horizon Coliseum.

Union Pines earned its second team championship in a row.

In the 3A classification, Union Pines completed the wrestling double as they capped their 2025 Dual Team Championship with a team title at the Individual Championships, said the association in a news release.

The Vikings were led by three state champions – Liam Myles (106), Dominic Blue (175) and Brock Sullivan (190).

Sullivan, who was the MVP at the Dual Team Championships, is now a two-time NCHSAA champion.

Union Pines said Coach Brian Gray won 3A Coach of the Year.
