Wolverines make history

In the 28-year history of the State Dual Wrestling Tournament, 143 different schools had qualified, not one of which had been from Grundy County ... until now. Last Tuesday Dike-New Hartford became the first Grundy County school to qualify for the duals, upsetting fifth-ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg for the dual team title. The 10th-ranked Wolverines (26-4 in duals) faced third-ranked Alburnett in the first round of the duals Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Results of the meet will be posted to The Grundy Register web site and Facebook page. Patti Rust’s complete recap of the meet will be printed in next week’s Grundy Register. More on the dual regionals as well as the traditional district meet is on today’s sports pages. (Patti Rust/The Grundy Register photo)
