Conference outlook:
 Our team goal every year is to win the WVC conference.  It will be an exciting team race again this year.  Every conference dual is a battle so we will need to be ready to go early in the season.
Keys to your success this season:
We lose 4 state qualifiers from last year’s team and 3 state place winners.
It will be tough to replace those guys, but our team is ready for the challenge.
I’m excited to see who will step up and become the new impact wrestlers in our lineup.

Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed? 

We have a great support system within the Marshfield program.  There are a ton of moving pieces that build up to a high school team having success.
Our youth coaches do a great job of building up numbers early on.  We keep it fun for those kids as they progress.  Our middle school team has a wealth of knowledge that leads to prepared wrestlers when they reach high school.  Our parents do a great job of supporting the kids, volunteering during events and concessions.  These areas go unnoticed to many.  Without them it would be tough to have the funds to travel to as many competitions as we do.  Overall, the wrestling community is as a whole from youth to high school is in a great place.  The support we have is unmatched in our area.
