Carter Heinz in wrestling action in Miller on Jan. 12.

The Ipswich Area Wrestlers returned to action at the Miller/Highmore/Harrold Invitational on January 12 in Miller. 

Only seven wrestlers competed due to injuries and illness, with six competing as part of the team and one wrestling unattached.

The team placed 15th out of 19 teams, placing three wrestlers, led by Carter Heinz's third-place finish. Tanner Frickson and Denver Wolff both placed eighth in their respective weight classes.  And Preston Martin returned to action unattached for the first time this season from a broken foot.  He and Wolff faced each other in the second consolation round.  

Coach Naasz said: "Besides regions and state, Miller is the toughest tournament we go to. I felt the athletes competed really hard and did a lot of good things during their matches. This tournament is a great way for us to gauge where we are. We need to clean up some little technical things. Starting this week we are going to begin the busy part of the season with multiple events each week."

The wrestling team will indeed be in action on Thursday, January 16 for quadrangular dual action in Highmore starting at 6 p.m. They will face Mobridge/Pollock, Miller/Highmore/Harrold and Faulkton.  They will also compete in Gettysburg on January 18  and wrestling starts at 10 a.m. They will then also attend the Mobridge-Pollock event on January 21.
