Goodhue Elementary Program Places at NYWA State Tournament


Goodhue's elementary team went 3-2 in duals at the NYWA State Tournament this weekend. It was a great capstone to a terrific season. On Saturday, the team went 2-1, losing only to a strong Albert Lea team. On Sunday, the team won its first dual, and in the second dual staged a dramatic comeback with some exciting pins and a forfeit to tie the team score. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as Goodhue technically lost the dual on criteria. Still, the team finished 10th place out of 32 teams - congratulations!

Goodhue also saw wrestlers with individual success. Ten Goodhue matmen qualified, and two ground their way through tough brackets to place. At 97#, Mariano Bigalk fought illness and some tough opponents to finish in 4th place, going 4-2 on the weekend. Fellow sixth grader Ryan Schoenfelder went 3-2 to finish in 5th place in his 120# bracket. Both faced and fell to the eventual bracket champion.
