Falcons advance four to 9th Grade State! Team takes 3rd at Eastview!
Faribault Wrestling brought 12 to qualify and advanced 4 individuals to the Minnesota 9th Grade State tournament this upcoming weekend, January 31. Seventh-grader Charlie Chambers (126 lbs), 9th graders Austin Rendler (138) and Dillon McEachran (Hwt) all won championships at their respective weights to advance. Also advancing was 9th grader Dillon Schrot (160) who took home second place after battling back in the consolation bracket and winning his True Second match. Just missing advancing to State was Josh Heyda (182) who took third place.
Earlier in the month, the Falcons made its return to 9th Grade Team action with a 3rd Place finish at the Eastview 9th Grade Team Tournament. The Falcons went 3-1 on the day with an opening-round 43-29 victory over host-team Eastview, then defeated Eden Prairie 43-30 before falling to New Prague 40-25 in the semifinals. They finished the competition with a 40-34 victory over Owatonna. Great job Falcons!
