          Season End

    Wednesday May 26th will be the final Freestyle/Greco practice for the season. I
    would like to thank the boys that put in the effort to expand their wrestling
    knowledge to include these important styles. Enjoy your summer and I will see you
    all in the fall.

                                   Regional Wrapup

    The Regional Championship was a big success for the region and the club. Our
    parents stepped up big and did an outstanding job. I cannot thank you enough.

    The kids also stepped up big. The club registered 33 wrestlers for the Regional
    Championships including 7 Dakota High School wrestlers. An amazing 67% of
    those qualified for the State Championships in 2 weeks. We also had many boys
    that came up just short with a 5th place finish. Last year, in the first year of the
    club, we qualified 8 wrestlers for the state finals. One year later we are taking
    almost three times that amount. The club finished 3rd overall and received a
    banner to hang in the wrestling room. It is a validation of all the hard work by the
    boys, parents and coaches throughout the season.

    Don't forget the banquet will be held on Monday March 29th at 6pm in the Atrium
    at Dakota High School.

                     New Website for High School Team

    The club has designed a new website for the High School Wrestling Team. The link
    is located on the left side of this page. Use it to stay up to date on how our high
    school wrestlers at Dakota are doing. If you look at their schedule they open the
    season at Chippewa Valley on December 3rd. I would like to get as many kids as
    possible from the club to attend wearing their Dakota gear.
