Jaguars Wrestling Action Cancelled for This Week

All High School wrestling events have been cancelled for eight days in Minnesota. For our Jaguars, that begins with their trip to the Melrose Triangular and ends with their home triangular next Tuesday. The Jaguars wrestling team's next scheduled event is Friday, February 9, when they host a big Quadrangular at the high school. It is unclear as of now whether or not the cancelled events will be rescheduled.

Further details can be found at the Minnesota State High School League's website:

An excellent story on this is running in the Wednesday issue of the West Central Tribune (Willmar) and can be found during the day on Wednesday at the following link:

Rightly stated, this outbreak is not a wrestling-only issue, and the ban on competition for this eight-day period illustrates that our schools and administrators have put the health and safety of our student athletes in front of anything else, which is the right thing to do.
