Wrestlers compete in Ron Thon tournament

Green River competed this past weekend in the state's largest wrestling tournament, the Ron Thon Memorial in Riverton. The tournament had 37 teams in the Boys Varsity division and the largest field since the inception of Girls Varsity Wrestling in the Girls division.

Green River's Head Wrestling Coach Josh Wisniewski stated that he was "very happy with how we wrestled this weekend as a team. We had eight wrestlers place in the top four with one Champion in Thomas Dalton."

The coach noted that it was the third time Thomas, a senior, has won the Ron Thon tournament.

Wisniewski also felt the girls varsity wrestled well. The coach observed that the four girls who entered into the tournament all placed in the top four places in their respective brackets.

He also felt the JV Boys wrestled well, improving every week, and noted that the JV brackets at the Ron Thon are always loaded with a bunch of wrestlers.

"Our wrestlers went out and competed," Wisniewski said. "We ended up with two JV wrestlers placing."

Wisniewski added, "It's great to see how the team is coming together for the last month of the season. We have four duals left to wrestle the next two weeks, then we head into regionals." The coach is looking forward to wrestling Star Valley next Friday night.

"It will be a great challenge for our team," he stated.

On Saturday, Green River will be taking on both of the Casper Schools, which Wisniewski feels will also be a great opportunity for the team to keep growing. Natrona County, the 2x 4A State Champions, and Kelly Walsh will both be a good challenge.
