On Saturday, the 12th of December, the Marion varsity wrestling went to Mt. Vernon for the 42nd annual Invitational. Their day started with them getting to the high school at around seven in the morning to get on the bus to go to Mt. Vernon. They then arrive at Mt. Vernon around nine in the morning to wrestle. After a very tiring day way after the sun had set, around eight at night, they got back on the bus to head home.


One varsity wrestler there was Nate Reynolds. “It went pretty good,” he commented about the meet. Marion got fifth out of about ten teams at the 42nd Annual Invitational. Nate happened to place fifth person at the meet that weekend also. “I like to escape the evil clutches of the other team and destroy,” Nate explains. He certainly did when he wrestled four times. Overall the meet was a pretty good success for the Marion varsity wrestling team.


With the season just starting, it hard to tell where it will go, but Nate states, “It’s going swell. All of us are working very hard and striving to get better.” With only a few meets down, the team is looking forward to a great season. Come and support the team this Thursday the 17th at Independence.
