Seven Lady Whippet wrestlers traveled to Southwest High School to compete in the Roughrider Invitational. This event featured thirty teams from across the state, including #3 Grand Island. Last year, the varsity team finished runner-up behind Grand Island with 126 points and three champions. Even though we sent our junior varsity, this was a varsity event featuring multiple state-ranked wrestlers. The team wrestled incredibly well, and every wrestler won at least one match. Coach Ostrom and Coach Wippel were very impressed with the drive and bounce-back ability each wrestler showed, as well as how far along each wrestler has come since many of them are first-year wrestlers.

Kassi Fetterolf went 4-1 to earn 3rd place and a MEDAL!
Cassie Bernshausen went 3-2 to finish in 5th place
