“The meet was moved up to accommodate possible weather, and the girls still stayed focused and wrestled well. I was very pleased with continuing to see some things translate from the room to the mat,” said Coach Ethan Adams.
The girls will return to the mats at Central Friday, Jan. 6, for a tournament at 4:30 p.m.
