Graphic Printing Company Boys Athlete of the Year:  Kaeb Stebbins, Delta High School senior

Kaeb Stebbins was selected as the inaugural Graphic Printing Company Athlete of the Year for boys wrestling.

“It shows people that I’m a hard worker,” said Stebbins about receiving the honor. “This season was special to me because everybody thought that we weren’t going to be able to come back with a strong team because we graduated so many seniors last year and we still did good in the state tournament and that just made it special.”

Stebbins began the year in the 190-pound weight class. While competing in the third-heaviest weight class, he went 3-for-3 to help the Eagles to a runner-up finish at the IHSWCA Class 2A Team State Tournament.

“Kaeb, who was a big weight for us … was somebody we could depend on in our lineup up top to always go get us bonus points at dual meets,” said DHS coach Cody LeCount. “He was the type of kid that was always at practice, always doing extra work, always doing stuff outside — he’s a multi-sport athlete — and he’s never complaining and he’s going the extra mile. This year he won our Bud Palmer Excellence Award and it’s a total person award. He’s a great person, great in school and a great role model for our team.”

Late in the season, he switched to the 175-pound weight class. The move paid off as he earned a fourth-place finish at the state tournament. 

Stebbins finished the season with a 37-6 record and ranked fifth in the state.

“It was really special because a lot of times people may place in the state and then the next year they don’t even make it or lose on Friday night,” Stebbins said. “I placed seventh last year and then I improved to fourth this year so that shows I put a lot of work into it.”
