Saturday we wrestled at the Kewaunee Invitational. This is really a great tournament for a team like ours that has a mix of abilities and experience. The field of teams is very similar to ours which makes for a great tournament. Some brackets can be very tough but most have many wrestlers or similar abilities. We also get a glimpse of some teams that will be at our regional and conference.
Over the past week we worked hard to fix some issues from our last tournament and today we saw some very good progress. We were generally in much better position. We were also much more offensive and using sound technique. Always things to work on but definitely moving in the right direction.
Highlights today were Grant Englebert finishing first, Kyle Conard second and Austin Farley, Griffen Slezewski and Austin Falish all third. Nice to see Grant wrestling again in his first tournament of the year. Hopefully, his shoulder injury is behind him. He wrestled with a lot of confidence today and dominated his weight class. Kyle and Austin both looked very good and Griffin is getting back to where he was before his Leukemia.
With Christmas on Wednesday, we'll have limited time to prepare before heading to Oshkosh on the Water Friday. Monday will be review and Thursday prep for one of the biggest tournaments in the state.
