Watertown’s Gage Lohr holds the No. 1 spot in the updated Class A South Dakota wrestling rankings, according to Dakota Grappler. Lohr is currently ranked No. 1 in the 157-pound Week 2 rankings. 

The Arrow junior has three state championships under his belt, including last season’s 138-pound Class A state championship. He also won state titles in 2024 (120 pounds) and in 2023 (106 pounds).

If Lohr earns the four-peat, he would become the seventh Class A wrestler to accomplish the feat. Brandon Valley’s Navarro Schunke is the only Class A wrestler to win five state championships.
