Friday Dec 5

The Mustangs Wrestling Team battled hard last night against a tough Marshfield Tigers squad, ultimately falling 41–23 — but the story doesn’t end there. Despite giving up multiple forfeits, our wrestlers showed serious heart and delivered some massive individual performances: Aaron Howard took down the #10-ranked opponent in his weight class; Jacob Anderson pulled off a huge upset over the #3-ranked wrestler; Aidan Aure dominated with a technical fall; Kenny Heimsecured a win with a pin; and freshman Calin Howard battled tough in a hard-fought match against the #3-ranked opponent. All of your Mustangs showed grit, fire, and pride on the mat. Don’t miss the action next week. Come pack the stands as your Mustangs Wrestling Team takes on Hudson next Thursday

Menomonie Gymnastics had a great meet last night at the Beauty and the Beast Competition. The gymnasts brought it to the table and beat Grantsburg and Bloomer/Colfax. Great job, Mustangs — a great start to the season! Our next home meet is December 16 against Eau Claire Memorial and Hudson, and it will be Pink Night/Parent Night.

Last night the Boys Swim Team competed in their first dual meet against the Superior Spartans. Menomonie started off their season strong with the team of Thomas Seim, Luke Ray, Ryan Rood, and William McKnight taking home first place in both the 200 Medley Relay and the 200 Freestyle Relay. Seim also finished first in the 100 Butterfly while Roodfinished first in both the 50 Freestyle and 100 Freestyle.
