Watertown High School’s boys and girls wrestling teams each closed out their regular season on the weekend of February 6 and 7 with strong showings at the Yankton Invitational.
The Arrow boys and girls teams each boasted three individual champions. The boys placed second behind Pierre in the team standings, while the girls placed fourth, trailing Canton, Aberdeen Central and Pierre.
Winning their weight classes for the Arrows boys were Brody Randall, Shea Richter and Gage Lohr. Watertown’s girl champions were Olivia Anderson, Allison Konrad and Eden Hach.
On Thursday, February 5, the Arrows traveled to Huron for a dual against the Tigers. The boys coasted to an easy 64-4 win while the girls won 34-23.
The Arrows will now shift into tournament mode with both the state duals and individual tournaments left on the schedule.
