Reserve Gra ppl ers End Year Strongly A 4 One of the greatest assets for the reserves this year was the large number of team members. Said Coach Brown We were stronger in all of the different weight classes than any of the other teams we met, and the size of our team kept individuals interested and motivat- ed them to push themselves in practice. Many of the reserve wrestlers are more than ready for varsity competition next year. The team took the Fairbury Invita- tional and had several medal winners and two champions at the Adams and Ashland Tournaments.
