AMERY, Wis. (WLAK) – Amery High School junior Koy Hopke announced his college decision Monday.

Hopke, a three-time state champion in wrestling, posted on social media Monday that he will attend Minnesota.

During Hopke’s high school wrestling career, he has won three state titles at 220 pounds, going undefeated with a record of 129-0. Next winter, he will look to become the 27th wrestler in Wisconsin history to win four state individual wrestling championships.

In addition to his WIAA titles, Hopke won a 2022 U17 World Title as a heavyweight. FloWrestling.com rated Hopke as the #4 Class of 2024 wrestling recruit in the nation and #2 heavyweight.

Hopke’s brother, Kale, won a state wrestling title at Amery and is currently a pitcher for Division 1 North Dakota State.
