On Thursday, the students were back to school after their winter break and the wrestlers took the mat on Thursday evening to take on the Lasers from Kettle Moraine. The wrestlers were given some time off after participating in a competitive Mid-States Classic tournament that featured 42 teams, many of which were ranked as well as numerous state place winners from last season. This was a well deserved time off as the team wrestled their hearts out. Reaching day 2 and finishing in the top twelve were Marcus DePorter (12th), David Cushman (11th), Carter Friend (10th) and Amaru Casas (12). Well done by these four young men.

Saturday, the Whitewater JV Wrestling team took part in the 5th annual Wisconsin Wrestling Challenge Series Regional. There were eight Regionals going on throughout the state. The JV wrestling team wrestled at Middleton High School. Unlike the regular state tournament series, The Challenge Series is made up of all three divisions so the Whippets competed against athletes from any school in their region, including Stoughton, Lake Geneva, and Elkhorn. This served as a good test for the Whitewater JV wrestling team to measure up on the mat. The whippets had fourteen wrestlers who took part in the tournament. The team started the day off strong although some wrestlers did take some hard losses. The coaches are proud to have four wrestlers reach the semifinals and elated to have two of those four athletes move on. Diego Tovar and Denver Isbell took third place in this really tough wrestling tournament and will be representing themselves and our school at the Wisconsin Wrestling Challenge Series. They get an opportunity to take part in one of the largest in-season JV wrestling tournaments on Saturday, January 19 in Wausau, WI. They should be proud of their accomplishment.
