• Five Groton wrestlers placed at the Gregory Wrestling Tournament held Saturday. Dalton Locke placed first, Kelby Hawkins and Trenton Duncah both placed second and Rayce Harder and Jeric Albrecht both placed third.

I was pleased with the way they bounced back and got after it after the first round. We again made some really good strides with our younger wrestlers, and our seasoned wrestlers led the way. This tournament was very solid with Webster, Burke/Gregory, Bon Homme, and Stanley Co. placing in the top four. We finished fifth to some very respectable teams in the tournament. I am excited each outing to see our guys trying new things that we are working on in practice. They are pushing themselves very hard right now in the practice room and it is showing up on the mat.
•  "This coming weekend we travel to Webster for the NEC tournament. I am excited to see how we will match up against the other conference teams."
