Crimson Wrestlers, Managers, and Families-
Week Thirteen Recap:
Team Sections week is always fun. It gives us an opportunity to see where we stack up against the teams we’ll be competing against at individual sections and also allows us to recognize some wrestlers who haven’t wrestled a lot of Varsity this season. A traditional dual event includes 13 wrestlers per team but for team sections we are able to roster 20 wrestlers. Based on our regular season section record of 5-2 we earned the #3 seed which meant we wrestled the #6 seed (Armstrong) in the first round. In that dual we won eight of matches and earned a decisive victory. In the second dual we drew #2 seed Wayzata. While that dual ended up being our final dual of the 2023-2024 season, we competed hard, earning four pins and finishing with twice as many wins as we had when we wrestled Wayzata at the beginning of the month.
Also, fun to see 16 of our 20 wrestlers on our roster wrestle at least one match at team sections.
Looking ahead to what promises to be the most intense wrestling of the season, individual sections is happening this upcoming Saturday and we hope to have a great week of practices leading up to those matches. Here are the details you’ll need to know for the week ahead:
