July 9-12 we had some wrestlers from the Central/Clayton Ridge JH Boys Wrestling team and some from the Central/Ed-Co HS Boys Wrestling team travel to Luther College for a camp where they competed in team building activities, duals, technique sessions, conditioning and bonded as a team.
They we paired with Austin, MN and Postville, and overall placed in 9th out of 32 teams and they went 6-4 in duals and 4-1 in team building activities and competed against teams from Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. It was fun to watch them grow, develop and work hard throughout camp and this will pay dividends this winter when wrestling season starts.
Individual Tournament placing:
Jace Bormann 2nd
Eli Vaske 2nd
Reid Hansel 1st
George Reimer 5th
Colton Hosington DNP
Easton Greve , Braxton Bormann and Eddie DeShaw also came along for camp.
Be sure to follow along this winter to see results from these studs who went and got better this summer!
