Nineteen youngsters made their way to the Glendive Invitational for some inter-divisional competition this weekend.  With many of their teammates out with illness, these fortunate competitors put on quite a performance with twelve top three finishers and five individual champions.  ”I thought we wrestled great.  We’re improving every week and the kids are starting to catch on to the new things we’re throwing at them in practice” said Coach Ryan Fast.

Six Middle School aged Highlanders also competed in the first ever Montana Middle School State Championships in Lewistown, MT.  Three individuals came away with a top six finish.  As a reward for their top finishes, Matt Reyling 2nd, Cade Myrick 3rd & Oden Hallock 5th also earned the right to represent Team Montana at the Lee Pamulak National Dual tournament held annually in Des Moines, IA.   Great work boys!

The season is moving at a rapid pace.  The two remaining divisional tournaments at Havre and Williston, run concurrently with Rocky Mountain Nationals (Denver, CO) and Black Hills Nationals (Spearfish, SD).  The season wraps up with the two most challenging tournaments in the State with the Montana Open (Billings) and State AAU (Butte).  It’s a meat grinder but our youngsters are ready and up for the challenge.
