We have wrestle offs and weigh certification tonight. Weight certification can run late so we will try to get Jr. high kids done first and on the bus. If things take longer than normal, your wrestler will contact you asap letting you know how they plan to get home. I will personally shuttle kids if need be. I suspect very few kids will be affected.
thanks,

Thanks to Rob Haglund and Chris Soltau for helping Brian sand the floors Friday evening…it was a messy job!
Another thanks to:
Brian M, Joey M, Miachel M, Liz M, Rob Haglund, Jarrett H, Jack H, Dan Bennett, Jen Steffen, Chase S, Caden S, for coming in last night and helping clean up the wrestling room!
Thanks to all the others who have helped along the way; our room is really starting to look like home because of your work!
Please come check out the wrestling room tonight during family night!
Captains practice will be from 4:30-5:45 tonight, it was originally scheduled for 6:30.
Blue cards are due before the first practice on Monday! Without them the boys can’t practice! We only have 15 practices before our first event….the boys can’t afford to miss practices!

JH/HS Wrestling PARENTS: Please do not relay this message to your wrestler. This message is to be found by your wrestler on his own time and effort.
7th-12th grade WRESTLERS: Please text me by Thursday, Nov 14th, by 8:00 p.m. the following sentence ‘I am a champion….your name’
WRESTLERS: My phone number is: 507-358-1344. If you do not have a phone borrow a parents or relatives. If you borrow another wrestlers phone DO NOT TELL HIM WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ERASE YOUR MESSAGE WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
WRESTLERS: This is confidential, do not tell any other wrestler that they are suppose to text me. If you do, you are hurting your team by cheating. Your teammates should have received the same info you did and should be texting me just as you are. I am very proud of every wrestler but I’m especially proud of you right now for reading this and following instruction and communication! Be proud of yourself, you have started the year off in a great way and have learned a skill that will help you the rest of your life!
FYI, we are working on communication, following through with instructions, and integrity with this group. These kids have many qualities but there are a few areas they need to work on as individuals and as a team. When we break through these barriers, their strengths of togetherness, hard work, dedication, technique, strength, and belief, will certainly blend together for a successful season! I am 100% confident they will get their with all of our help!
WRESTLERS: Last thing, if you were told by a parent, another teammate, a fan, or a random person to text me the message, use INTEGRITY! It’s your job to tell me the truth to my face…not by text or phone.
Thanks,

Varsity, JV & JH will be traveling to Lakeville South on Dec 19th for A triangular with LS and Henry Sibley.
I’ve requested we wrestler the first two duals so we can get home earlier. My apologize for the early start time of 5:00.
This is a terrific opportunity that Tim McAthie has approved for us! Please take the time to thank Tim as he has given the ZM wrestling program many opportunities!
Last, please refer to our practice calendar schedule and the Varsity/JV/JH schedules on this site as they ARE the most correct!
