Strengths/Question Marks:  “We will be strong in the mid-weights where we have several returners and some quality back-ups. Our upper weights should do well this year too. Our biggest question marks come at the lower weights where we lack experience.”

Outlook:  “A team goal every year is to win our league championship. This won’t be easy. Our league will be very competitive once again. We also want to compete at district duals and qualify multiple wrestlers for the state championship tournament.”
