Brady Berge

Brady Berge of Mantorville, Minnesota was a four-time Minnesota High School state champion, and he helped Kasson-Mantorville capture three state team titles.

The son of Kevin and Cheri Berge, he won his first state title as a seventh grader, and after a third-place finish as an eighth grader, he added titles as a freshman and sophomore in high school.

Berge was on track to become a five-time state champion when he suffered a broken leg in the semifinals as a junior, finishing and winning the match before defaulting out of the tournament due to injury.

He returned to capture his fourth title as a senior. Berge finished with a career record of 282-5, ranking second in state history for wins with 282 and winning percentage with .982. Had he not suffered the broken leg, he likely would have ended his career by winning his final 196 matches.

He was all-conference in football and was named Mr. Minnesota High School Wrestler and Rochester Area Sports Commission Athlete of the Year in 2017.

Berge is a member of the National Honor Society and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America as well as a volunteer with the Kasson-Mantorville American Legion.

Berge has signed a letter of intent to wrestle for national champion Penn State University.
