This was my first experience at Fargo, and I can tell you - the Team Wisconsin coaches are top notch! With 50+ wrestlers in both cadet and junior divisions, they have their hands full keeping track of when wrestlers are up, yet never did I see a wrestler without at least 2 coaches in their corner. The countless hours each of these coaches give needs to be recognized - they are doing this because they love this sport and want to see the best for each of these kids. While only a limited amount of the wrestlers who placed were mentioned here - I believe each and every wresters who wrestled for Team Wisconsin had outstanding tournaments and represented Wisconsin very well. With brackets in excess of 100 wrestlers, having a winning record, or for some just winning a match is a great accomplishment.
So - thank you to all the coaches and parents that make Wisconsin wrestling so great! Many great things ahead!
