SW Wrestling Invite Draws Massive Attendance

DECORAH - The South Winn Invite at Luther was a big success, despite the looming storm that barreled into the region over the weekend.

“We hosted the SW Invite this Friday at Luther College and it was a very successful event,” said Coach Jacob Eslbernd. “We had around 500 male and female wrestlers competing. We are very fortunate to have great people who care about our program, show up and volunteer for us. I couldn’t be happier with how the event went and we heard a lot of positive feedback from others.”

For the boys, West Delaware had 243 to take top place as a team, beating out Denver with 202.5 for second, which in turn narrowly edged Decorah with 201.5 for third.

NH/TV had 108 for sixth while the Warriors had 70.5 for ninth.

Kyle Kouboushek was a standout for SW, earning first place at 165 with for NH/TV, Carter Cajthaml had first at 138 and Jayden Bucknell  had runner up at 144.

Over on the girls’ side, Osage had 223.5 for first, followed by Decorah with 203 for second and Sumner-Fredericksburg with 116.5 for third while NH/TV had 84 for fifth and SW had 21 for 15th.

SW’s Maddy Jansen had runner up at 140 while NH/TV’s Ava Trende  had runner up at 235.

“This tournament was definitely a step up in competition from last week,” said Elsbernd. “We had some incredible battles throughout the day and won some of them and fell short a few times as well. Our team is young and we are learning a lot each night out in competition. One thing I notice is that I think several of the team members are lacking a bit of confidence in themselves.As a staff we will be working to help these guys believe in themselves. As the kids start to find confidence in different positions and in theri wrestling ability, I think we are going to see some nice improvements as far as results go. We are currently led by our group of 4 juniors Kyle Kuboushek, Landen Schnuelle, Eric Greve and Ray Lienau. Our younger guys are coming along but still finding themselves in some tough situations.”
