The Rangeview wrestling team might have started off a little slow this year, but they’re quickly improving and gunning for the finish line.

 

Junior wrestler Eric Holt said, “The season has been going alright. We started off a little rough on our team duals, but then we picked up and started taking dubs.”

The Raiders only plan on continuous improvement throughout the rest of the season. They hope to keep getting better collectively, while also being able to compete individually on the state level.

 

The Rangeview wrestlers just finished up a tournament on Saturday, and they continue towards their goals with matching starting up again this week.
