Each district or region in Saskatchewan could send four wrestlers per weight class to the 2013 Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association provincial championship at the University of Regina this weekend.
Some wrestlers had a full slate of competitors to pin while others had just three or four in their class, but no matter how many were competing there was elite talent at every level.
