Cooper D. Lish Memorial Tournament

Last weekend the Cooper D. Lish Memorial Tournament took place at Marsh Valley High School.  The tournament is a very large and competitive event that brings wrestlers from all over the Intermountain West to compete.  The competition level at the tournament is very high featuring several of the top wrestlers from the state.  This event gave several of those wrestlers a chance to see some competitors that they may see again at the state championships.  Locally Caribou County had several wrestlers compete in both the boys and the girls tournament.  The only team to not participate was Grace who has been hit with a large amount of illness and made the decision to drop out to give their athletes the weekend to recover.  The other two local schools did have several athletes participate.  North Gem does have low numbers with only four wrestlers currently competing. Those four wrestlers are competing well this season and all of them were at this tournament.  Meanwhile Soda Springs has good numbers with fifteen boys and five girls having competed in this past weekend's tournament.  Several of the local wrestlers were able to place in the top four of their weight classes.  Some extra notable performances were Haydn Frandsen of North Gem who placed third, Zayden Garbett of Soda Springs who placed third, Elijah Dilworth of Soda Springs who placed third, and Kage Kirby of Soda Springs who placed second in the jv bracket.  For the girls Abbiegail Krupp placed second and Alexandra Sturges went undefeated placing first in her weight class.

There will be plenty of wrestling to keep up on this week with Soda Springs traveling to the Twin Falls tournament this weekend, while North Gem will head to Malad on Friday and Saturday.  Grace will also be back in action hosting a meet on Wednesday before heading to Kemmerer Wyoming for the weekend.
