The Washington wrestling team is back at it tonight for a home quadrangular with a few Southeast Conference teams participating.
The Demons will welcome conference schools Keokuk and Fairfield to town as well as Ottumwa to make up the four teams. Washington had a handful of grapplers compete in Mid-Prairie on Monday for a junior varsity meet. Jacob Hill was a headliner winning all three of his matches in the 177-182 pound weight class. Jacob Miller at 143-149 lbs and Chase Greiner at 160-168 lbs each tallied a pair of contested match wins.
Head Coach Brent Van Weelden tells KCII Sports what he wants to see from his team this week to close out the first half of the season. “We are revisiting some things that are important early on in the year. Pretty basic stuff like staying in a good stance, tweaking some things on shot defense, and working on transitioning. A really good wrestler can transition from one move to another and that is something that we are focusing on now.”
The meet gets underway at 6 p.m. tonight in Washington.
