Three local boys on the Garretson high school wrestling team participated in the State Wrestling Tournament held in the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls.
Representing Garretson at the 144lb weight class was Carsten Rozeboom. With a tough first round match against Jace Blasius from Philip, Rozeboom ended up on the losing side to Blasius who ended up winning the title. Rozeboom had another tough match in the consolation round, losing to Sanders from Custer.
"Carsten went out and gave it his all and that's all we asked of him to do and I am so proud of him for how he competed this year! I wish him the best in his future." Coach Brady Schleuter said.
Competing at the 190lb weight class was senior Caleb Westerbur. He finished the tournament with a 1-2 record falling just one win away from placing. His lone win was against Gabriel Martian from Howard who had beaten Westerbur twice earlier in the year.
"Caleb wrestled hard and with pride so I was proud of him to go out like that, he has a bright future and wish him nothing but the best," Schleuter said.
At heavyweight freshman Tanner Baatz went 0-2, losing his first round to Cook from Canton who ended up getting second place.
"Tanner has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see what his future holds, he accomplished so much in his first year and I am proud of him," Coach Schleuter said. “The Garretson High School wrestling team thanks you for all the support this year!”
