Seniors Cash Christensen, Mason Yenney, AJ Kelly and Danial Suazo along with freshman Broc Fletcher, Ian Dickinson and Mathew Foster made the trip in the high school division. Fletcher, Christensen and Kelly earned All-American honors.
Some future RSHS wrestlers and Top of the Rock members competed in the middle school division were Dax Shelley, Dane Arnoldi, Lincoln Young, Sam Thornhill, Teag Nacey, JJ Guillen and Dawson Searle. Arnoldi and Thornhill came away with All-American honors as well in the middle school division.

During the 2020-2021 season, the Rock Springs Tigers were regional champions in their quadrant and competed well at the state tournament. The Tigers had two state champions, four wrestlers who placed and the largest freshman class in history of the school to qualify for the state tournament.
