In its first home meet of the season, the results stayed the same for the Free State wrestling program.

The Firebirds remained undefeated on the year after picking up two convincing wins over Gardner Edgerton and Olathe East on Saturday at FSHS. Free State earned a 61-18 win over Gardner Edgerton and secured a 49-27 victory over Olathe East in the first meet of the 2021 portion of its schedule.
