Fans,
Our three regional qualifiers battled tough this past weekend, with two of our wrestlers falling one match short of becoming state qualifiers. Sophomores Scooter Duren and Ethan Kaufmann wrestled ALL SENIORS! Ethan knocked off a District Champ and State Qualifier in the first round and then defeated another senior in the quarters to wrestle the reigning conference champ in the semis. In the wrestle back round, Ethan had to wrestle yet another senior, losing a very close 5-3 decision. Ethan finished this year SAC Runner up and 4th in the District. Scooter wrestled a senior district runner up in the first round before defeating another senior in his first wrestle back. Unfortunately, he ran into a returning State Qualifier in wrestle back round 2 and was unable to fight off the pin. He finishes this season 3rd in the SAC as well as the District. Zach compiled a record of 3-2 over the weekend, losing a hard fought takedown in overtime in the match to qualify. He finishes the season with a 3rd place finish at the TOC and a SAC & District runner-up.

This off-season:
Your wrestler should get out there and participate in another sport! Track & weightlifting seasons are currently going on and either one of those are a GREAT opportunity to improve as an athlete. The skills learned in both sports transfer over to wrestling. Get your athlete off the couch and into a spring sport. Contact Coach Rutledge (Room 03-211B) for weightlifting and Coach Malkovich (Portable 1) or Coach Getty (Room 03-108/Athletic Office) for track. If a wrestler is not involved in a spring sport then they are expected to participate in offseason strength & conditioning for wrestling.
Banquet:
More information about our banquet will be made available soon.
We are proud of ALL of the wrestlers who worked hard this season and cannot wait to start preparing for next year! Thank you all for your support and GO HUSKIES!
