A No. 4 seed beating a district champion in the first round at the Missouri State High School Activities Association Wrestling Championships can be considered an upset.

Helias junior Dylan Linsenbardt, who claimed the final state spot from District 4 at 113 pounds, romped to a relatively easy 12-5 win over District 1 champion Aaden Aaden of Rockwood Summit in the opening round Thursday night at Mizzou Arena.
