Congratulations to the Mapleton Junior High wrestling team for winning the Nebo District Team championship. The team won dual matches against all the other Junior high schools in the district, making them undefeated on the year. The matches began in December and concluded this week. During the dual meets varsity wrestlers would wrestle for team points, while JV wrestlers wrestled for experience and individual outcomes. Wrestling is a grueling sport that requires a mastery of technique, strength and endurance all of these young wrestlers have worked extremely hard all season. Team has represented our school very well showing great sportsmanship and competiveness. Mapleton Junior has an outstanding wrestling tradition which continues to grow. A big thanks to coach LaMont and his staff for the time, energy and commitment they have to the wrestlers at Mapleton Junior and for all they do for the sport. Individual honors are up for grabs this week as Mapleton Junior hosts the Nebo District Individual Championships this Wednesday (Jan. 16th) weight-in are at 7:30am wrestling begins around 9:00am in the main gyms. Good luck to all our wrestlers going for individual glory.
