Congratulations to all the youth wrestlers that participated in the Region 5 tournament in Brandon on Saturday. This year we had a very strong showing at Regions with many wrestlers placing and 12 wrestlers moving on to the State Tournament, which is increased from the 7 wrestlers that qualified last year. The State Youth Wrestling Tournament will be held at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls on March 25-27. Great job wrestlers!
