School)
Congratulations to Coach Christine and Viking Club wrestlers:
Tristian Norton (2nd; Bantam #50) & Austyn Lybert (8th;
Bantam #60) who were placers in this year's State tournament!
Tristian was second in Pool "A", crossed-over
and beat the Champion in Pool "B" to wrestle for
the Championship where he lost a narrow decision to his
nemesis from KOTR. When the long day was over he had wrestled
SIX matches and did a fantastic job.
In only his second tournament, Austin wrestled great and
really showed his skills using the crotch throw. His 8th
place was an excellent finish to a big bracket and his first
year of competitive wrestling!
