Hoisington Cardinal Duals 1-12-17

Wrestling meets can take brackets of individual wrestlers competing against their weight class and earning team points. A Dual puts two teams head to head in each class to win points for the team.

Instead of competing for an individual place or medal, the wrestlers work to win for their school only in a dual.

Hoisington hosted a team dual on a cold Thursday evening and took first place when the round robin meet finished.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the duals:
