Tiger Takedown Aztec Wrestling Newsletter #7 20017-18 1/15/2018
On Thursday we dualed Durango. A BIG “shout out” goes to the 17 teachers who showed to support their students. The Tigers won with a 60-6 victory.
43 teams, 6 mats, and 5 place winners. A 5th place team finish summons up the always tough 54th Doc Wright Invitational in Winslow, Arizona. Our performance was good, but we lost some very important tight team placing matches. Our previous best finish was a 9th place with 3 placers. The competition at Winslow is always the toughest we face all season and it will help prepare us for the State Tournament in February.
Our under staffed Junior Varsity won the Bronze bracket going 3-2 for the day at the Garrison Spencer Memorial Tournament held in Shiprock. We had 3 JV wrestlers go undefeated on the day.
