Prairie claims 4th MVC title in row
The best wrestling in the Mississippi Valley Conference is happening right here in Cedar Rapids.
And the best of the best are the Prairie Hawks.
Prairie captured its fourth straight conference title Saturday by winning the MVC SuperMeet and leading a 1-2-3 finish by Cedar Rapids schools at the Prairie gym.
Jefferson finished second in the team standings and Kennedy was third. On top of that, Metro wrestlers won 10 of the 14 individual titles with Prairie, Jefferson, Kennedy, Xavier and Linn-Mar grapplers all climbing to the top of the victory stand.
