Another crazy day at the D2 regional tournament.
Curtis Houghton (190) was 1 point away from making the state tournament.(not bad for a first year wrestler)

Dasan Smith(285) finished the day 3-1 and placed 3rd punching his ticket to Ford Field. This will be his 2nd trip to the State Tournament

Today we head down to Cadillac for the boys and girls regional tournaments Saturday and Sunday. Top 4 in each weight class will qualify for the State Championships at Ford Field in a couple weeks

Today the team competed at the Division 2 individual district tournament. We ended placing two wrestlers in the top 4 to advance to next week’s regional meet. We also brought the team for our annual water park trip afterwards.

What a day it was! I just want to thank everyone involved to help make the Marquette Challenge a HUGE success again. Thank you to the teams, parents and wrestlers that travel to the UP year in and year out. We have an amazing group of officials that make the trip as well. Also our athletic trainers making sure the athletes are safe. Most importantly I want to thank my family, my team, my parents and my coaches that made this event possible. Without the support of everyone involved this event would not be possible. Sincerely Coach Gentz
