Mr. Schmitt and I draw straws and every year I win to be at state wrestling watching our wrestlers, managers, cheerleaders and coaches take over Des Moines. This year I have the privilege of have both a cheerleader and a wrestler in our family on the floor which was super exciting! Proud mom moment...
Of course by now you know that our team won the dual title for the 2nd year in a row. We are lucky to be able to have our whole team participate in the dual tournament and carry the family philosophy set forth by Coach Hemann and our coaching staff.
We also took a day off school on Wednesday for us to celebrate and support the team. We believe that high school and the experience of high school goes beyond the classroom to experience on the mat, floor, field, stage, and a wide variety of venues. The support brought by the Chickasaws on Wednesday definitely outdid any other school that was in Wells Fargo for the day. Great job!
As the week continues we watch our student-athletes continue to be successful. As of Thursday afternoon, 8 of the 9 wrestlers who qualified for state are still wrestling. Five are in the championship bracket, Michael Blockhus, Noah Fye, Evan Rosonke, Cale Reicks and Areon Day, as three work their way back through the consolation bracket, Mason Cleveland, Max Babcock, and Noah Glaser. Whether you are in Des Moines or back in New Hampton, keep cheering on our Chickasaws!
