Wrestling is a sport that requires an incredible amount of dedication and determination to excel at all levels. The workouts and training become the lives of the Dixie wrestlers from the moment tryouts begin and when the season ends in middle of February. Everyone is on their game at all practices and the strive for dominance in region will carry our team far.
December 1st is the magic day for all wrestlers. It marks the first match up of the year against Hurricane High School. "We've lost some key kids this year, but with the way our practices have been going the past couple weeks our team should be competitive", said veteran, senior wrestler Justin Crapo.
Dixie is known for their speed on the mat and knowledge of their opponents. Having a strategy against the individual opponent gives Dixie an upper hand on what moves to exercise and what moves to avoid.
