NHS varsity wrestlers idle; junior varsity competes

Newton High’s varsity wrestlers did not compete at Fort Dodge’s Don Miller Invitational Saturday because of injuries, according to NHS Activities Director Scott Garvis

Cardinal wrestling head coach Andy Swedenhjelm did not have any comments concerning the varsity. He did comment on the Cardinal junior varsity wrestlers, who competed in the North Polk JV Invitational Saturday.

“It was a good day overall. We had seven champions out of the 10 wrestlers that competed,” Swedenhjelm said. “It was a very good day for our kids to practice some things that we have been working on, so it was a very good day of growth.”

Caleb Kite, Tristin Langmaid, Tanner Petro, Brady Smith, Jacob Smith, Harley Walker and Logan Zibert each went 3-0 to win their brackets.

Newton’s varsity and junior varsity are slated to hit the competitive mats again on Jan. 3 at tournaments hosted by Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont in Eddyville.
