The MS Wrestlers wrapped up their 2024 season Saturday, participating in the Coloma Middle School Invitational. Each wrestler participated in their own bracket to try and fight their way to the podium. Three Panthers ended the day with medals, with Camdyn Woollett placing 2nd, JT Isbrecht placing 3rd, and Josh Kock placing 4th. Brooklyn Woollett and Roman Arndt wrestled hard, but finished outside of the top 4 in their brackets.
We would like to thank the wrestlers for their hard work and families for their support. We look forward to next season and encourage all students to participate.
