The Highlanders hit the road to North Dakota this weekend to compete at the MonDak Open on the campus of Williston State. 605 wrestlers from twenty eight different youth clubs were in attendance. GWC was well represented as the 4th largest team at the event with 50 strong! The Highlanders won 61% of their matches. 62 of those wins came by pin and another 7 by technical fall. The team was led by 13 Individual Champions and 31 top four finishers.
The coaches could not be more proud than we are right now after our first five weeks of practice and competition. We are looking forward to taking the traditional weekend off to cheer on our Scottie Wrestling teams this Thursday through Saturday at the High School State Tournament in the Billings Metra. The club will be back in action with both the Poplar Invitational and the Butte Cyclops Tournament the weekend of February 22-23.
