Tiger Takedown: Aztec Wrestling Nation Newsletter #2 12/10/2018
With wrestling coming to an end for our Middle School and the Varsity starting its bid to defend its State Title, wrestling was in full blown mode in San Juan County this past weekend. A short handed Middle School Team made as many waves as possible. Eleven wrestlers did all they could, placing 3rd at the San Juan Basin Middle School Championships. The Varsity won and Junior Varsity was second at the 43rd Bloomfield Invitational, adding much promise to an early portion of the season. Listed below are the results of all three events.
