Kayhi Senior Titan Linne Seizes State Wrestling Title

Earlier this month, Kayhi senior Titan Linne clinched the 125-pound championship at the Alaska Airlines Arena in Anchorage, defeating Soldotna’s Titus Watts in a thrilling match that ended in a pin. But what made this victory even sweeter was the presence of his older brothers, Brayden and Degan Linne, who flew in last minute to support Titan in his championship run.

With both brothers having finished as state runners-up in the past, they were determined to see Titan succeed. And succeed he did, making a stunning comeback after initially falling behind 3-0. The crowd went wild as Titan secured a pin in 5 minutes and 29 seconds, ultimately claiming victory and etching his name in the state record books.

Titan’s triumph was not only a personal achievement but also a historic moment for Kayhi wrestling. His win marked the first boys’ championship for the school since 2016 and a proud moment for the Linne family, with both brothers celebrating alongside Titan after the match.

For his outstanding performance, Titan was named the Division I boys Most Outstanding Wrestler, capping off a remarkable season where he defied the odds and proved his mettle on the mat. His victory was not just a win for himself but a win for Southeast wrestlers everywhere, receiving accolades from coaches and spectators alike.

Titan’s dedication, hard work, and tenacity paid off, making his family, team, and community proud. As he basks in the glory of his state championship, Titan looks forward to carrying on the Linne legacy in the wrestling world, leaving a lasting impact that will be remembered for years to come.
