Garretson had 31 youth wrestlers participate in the Regional tournament this last weekend. All fought hard.
The 31 wrestlers held their own with over 50% moving on to State (16). Though there were some that didn’t move on to state, doesn’t mean they didn’t wrestle hard or fight the fierce. South Dakota has some of the best wrestlers and at any point wrestlers can meet an opponent that they haven’t been prepared for.
Last year, Garretson had 12 youth wrestlers seeking medals in state. Of those 12, Garretson only has 3 that are repeat medal seekers. This goes to show how many wrestlers (13) have shown desire, passion, and dedication to reach the next level.
The Youth Wrestling season concludes on March 25/26th with the State tournament, where we find out the results of the 16 youth Garretson wrestlers that have moved on.
The tournament will be held in Aberdeen at the Wachs Arena March 24-26, and tickets will be for sale beginning Friday, March 24.
