The Lancers finished the season 30-1, winning the Peckham Invitational Tournament (5th), regaining the Tri-Valley League title (5th), capturing the Sectional Championship (3rd), winning both the State Dual Meet Tournament (2nd) and the State Individual Tournament (1st), and being named the State Sportsmanship Award winners by the wrestling officials association.
