AGWSR earns runner-up spot at St. Edmond duals

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:39am

    FORT DODGE – The AGWSR wrestling team fell just three points short of their goal to repeat as team champs at the St. Edmond duals on Saturday. Cougar head coach Chad Gerbracht speculated the long layoff and unpredictable weather may have contributed to the slow start when AGWSR fell in their opener to Roland Story 39-36.
    “In reality there were five matches that we could have done better in,” Gerbracht said. “Regardless, we need to be match ready each day out. Come sectionals, if you’re not ready first round the best you can do is fifth place.”
