Lady whippets topple #1 Grand Island

If the Lady Whippet wrestling team was flying under the radar, they sure made themselves known tonight. In front of the raucous home crowd celebrating parent's night, Minden defeated #1 Grand Island 41-33 Thursday night. Despite giving up two forfeits, Minden overcame to defeat the returning State Duals champions and top-ranked Islanders. Included in Minden's 7 wins were huge falls from Keira Crane, Victoria Hansen, #5 Isabel Serrano, and #9 Cheyenne Vahl as all of their opponents had winning records last season. #9 Myia Hofaker and #2 Aliena Osterbuhr also flexed their preseason ranking with falls in their matches.

On Friday the freshmen and junior varsity wrestlers will travel to Southwest for the Roughrider Invite, and then varsity will end the weekend at the tough Kearney Invite. It is shaping up to be a special season!
