Wright City finished the Marshall Tournament with 144 team points. The Lady Wildcats beat Brookfield for the team title by 18.5 points. Seventeen teams participated in the Marshall Tournament, including multiple schools in Wright City’s district.
“We won our second tournament,” Wright City head wrestling coach Fred Ross said. “First time we’ve won trophies before. We’ve never won two in a year before. Once again, they’re setting records.”
Wright City won the John Burroughs Tournament earlier this season, which was the first wrestling tournament title in school history.
