“We go to the Eau Claire North tournament because of the level of competition and the variety of teams we see there,” he said. “Bi-State is the only other tournament where we see teams of this quality all in one place. We had 4 top-ten finishers: Justin was 10th, Troy was 9th, and Breckin and Willy were 7th. We continue to have ups and downs as a team.”

Continuing on the same theme, Burzynski highlighted the chance to meet state-ranked wrestlers at Eau Claire as among the reasons for attending.

“We as a coaching staff noticed some issues in certain positions that we need to clean up. It is still early in the season. We will continue to work to improve on our deficiencies and close out matches,” he said.
