Even though we came up short in the team race, we thought we gave it our best and left it all out there. Overall we had 16 District Placers, 4 Champions and ended up with 9 State Qualifiers. We have had a very hard working group, who have pushed and supported each other throughout the season and it was great to see the growth in everyone from where we started to where we ended yesterday. We have also been a very resilient group as we were always looking forward to the next challenge throughout the season as we navigated a very challenging schedule that demanded a lot out of our wrestlers!
District Tournament Team Scores: Westview 329.5, Mountainside 312.0, Sunset 294.5, Beaverton 250.5, Aloha 198, Southridge 148.5
