Five Oklahoma prep wrestlers won their weight divisions in the prestigious Kansas City Stampede Wrestling Tournament last weekend.

The tournament featured 36 high school wrestling teams from 10 states in a two-day competition.

Christian Moody of Collinsville was the champion at 106 pounds and was one of five wrestlers to finish in the top three and one of nine in the top 10. Collinsville, ranked No. in Class 5A in Oklahoma, won the tournament with 460 points.

Edmond North, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A, finished third in Kansas City, primarily thanks to the performance of the Dixon triplets.

Joel Dixon won the 195-pound division while his brother, Andrew, was the champion at 220 pounds.

Lance Dixon nearly made it a sweep for the brothers, finishing second. He lost a 13-1 decision in the championship match to Michael Pixley of Blue Springs, Mo.
