The State Tournament is very important. That is how our Dual Teams are selected. We simply look at the first place finishers at each weight class and that is the guy we target for duals. We run into problems when our state tournament is one of only a few tournaments that we have and usually speaking our kids wrestle a different weight class at duals then they are wrestling at the state tournament. For example: quite often we have our state champion at 135lbs that decides to wrestle at 130 or 125 for the duals, well then we have both of those individuals at both of those weights also competing on the team as well.

This year with lots of schools having graduations on that weekend, we expect our Junior numbers to be considerably down. Time will tell.
Remember TOP 3 at each weight class in EACH STYLE qualify that those individuals for our National Team for FARGO. You can do this at the STATE TOURNAMENT OR SOUTHERN PLAINS.

Southern Plains is not required but yes we would like our athletes to attend. It allows our athletes to score seeding points for National Duals and Fargo.
