No. 2 ranked Spring Valley/Elmwood hopes their Dunn-St. Croix title can help them have a top three finish at the Big Rivers/Dunn-St. Croix Wrestling Jamboree this Saturday at River Falls.
The Redbirds have traditionally never done all that well at the Jamboree, their best finish being fifth in the 12-team meet which they did in 2004 and in 2011 and the meet will be equally challenging this weekend as well with defending champ Hudson looking to fend of this year's BRC dual meet champ Chippewa Falls along with the Redbirds, Glenwood City and Boyceville.
"We going to have to wrestle very well and have to pull off some upsets too," SVE head coach Carter Turner said. "There's a lot of good individual wrestlers between both leagues and that doesn't always make favorable match-ups for us."
For example, if SVE's best wrestler, Brady Webb, wants to win the title at 120, he's going to probably have to get past defending state champion Izzy Balsiger of Chippewa Falls. Then throw in wrestlers like Quinn Miracle and Grant Schindler of Chi-Hi, Hudson's Tanner Owens and Kolya Hawksford; Boyceville's Brett Blaser, Josh Cormican and Danny Hayes; Glenwood City's Austin Moe, Adam Holmquist and Riley Knops along with St. Croix Central's Cody Nyhagen, Carl Moll, Marcus Malacek and Lauden Wood and you have a very formidable tournament field to get through.
But SVE has been wrestling very and pulling off some upsets over the past week. They added on to their triumph at St. Croix Central last Thursday by sweeping the Menomonie Quad with wins over the host Mustangs, Osceola and Winona and they clinched the D-SC title outright for the second season in a row with a 37-29 win over No. 10 Boyceville in Boyceville where they had not won a dual meet since the late 1980s.
