Central Wisconsin Wrestling Conference Tournament

I really liked reading the topic on the Northeast Valley Conference Tournament so I thought I'd post results from the CWWC Tournament held in Merrill at the end of January.  There were 23 teams with with Wis Rapids scoring 217, St Point 214, John Muir (Wausau West) 195, Marshfield 164 and Stratford 133 as the top scoring teams. Marshfield and St Point each had 4 champions and Wis Rapids had 3 champions.  All the champions also qualified for the youth state tournament this weekend, except for one that didn't attend a regional.  Merrill also does a great job of hosting the tournament.

Thanks for the info on the conference tourney, I would love to hear more people post about their middle school conference tourney. That is impressive that they all advanced to state!!!

A couple side notes to the tournament. Probably the best overall wrestler in our conference, Gavin Drexler from Stratford, was not there and would have most likely been at 105.  Marshfield has a couple kids that would contend for a title but their team is so stacked from 105-136 that they leave a couple state qualifier type kids out.  I heard John Muir (Wausau West) had 60-70 kids on their team to start the year.  St Point almost won the tournament and they only have 7th and 8th graders on their middle school team.

I would say the only problem with our tournament is that we seed it based mostly on records and records can be very deceiving because during the year the good/excellent kids wrestle each other and the more beginner/average kids wrestle each other. It created some odd looking brackets with some very good kids meeting up early on.
