Our SD wrestlers have quickly jumped into the 2022-2023 season.  It will be an interesting season as we have a few first year seniors joining Jonas Jandrin our lone returning senior.  We have a good core group of juniors and sophomores joined by a nice group of freshman.  The freshman group includes 4 female wrestlers who hope to compete in the first WIAA female post season tournament.

 

This past weekend we opened up at Stratford with duals against Brillion, Crandon, Stratford, Wausau East and Wittenburg Birnamwood.  Still working to fill some holes in our lineup and getting everyone into the right weights but we were able to fill most weight classes by moving some wrestlers up.  We started out slow in our first two matches but looked better as the day progressed.  As a team we finished the day at 1-4.  Individually our best finisher was Hayden Jeanquart at 4-1.  Mason Motquin and Jonas Jandrin were both 3-2.  Good learning day for everyone.

 

Last night we had a dual at Two Rivers with Denmark.  Kewaunee was also there but we did not wrestle them.  We will see Kewaunee in a couple weeks at their tournament and again in January for our conference dual.  In our first dual we met a very good Denmark team.  We wrestled better than the final score losing 17-60.  Our second dual with with Two Rivers was a very exciting match for the team.  Trailing 12-34 we fought back to earn a 39-34 win with three pins and a decision in the last four matches.  Both Mason Motquin and Wyatt Wilke were 2-0 on the night.

 

Next up is the Battle on the Bay this weekend at Bayport.  One of the premier tournaments in the state with even more teams this year.
