Marion wrestlers trying to compete with big schools

Mon - 22 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

When it comes to Class 3A wrestling, Marion High School is a shrimp.

The Indians rank 63rd out of 64 schools in Class 3A, which is reserved for the biggest schools in the state.

West Des Moines Valley has 2,016 kids in the upper three grades, which is how they figure the three-class system for wrestling. Des Moines Lincoln has 1,713 students, Davenport West has 1,462, Kennedy 1,379 and Dubuque Hempstead 1,280, to sample a few others at random.

Then there’s Marion, with 463 students in the 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Only Gladbrook-Reinbeck has a smaller enrollment among 3A wrestling schools with 453 kids.

That gives Marion Coach Bruce Weisinger a built-in excuse for not scoring a lot of points in the 3A state tournament, but he’s not looking for excuses. Far from it. He has no complaints about being lumped with the big boys.

Marion 8th at West Delaware meet

Sun - 02 Jan

MANCHESTER — In Iowa, when a coach’s varsity roster lists four freshmen, it’s likely he’s in one of those “rebuilding years” and the phrase “Hey, nice effort kid – we’ll get ‘em next year,” is commonly heard in the post-match pow-wow.

This was definitely not the case for Linn-Mar wrestling coach Doug Streicher and the Lions on Dec. 4 as his young team took home the championship trophy at the Hawk Invitational in Manchester by outscoring New Hampton’s Indians by 22.5 points.

Marion was eighth (53) and Washington ninth (49) in the nine-team meet. All four of Linn Mar’s freshmen made the finals and nearly achieved perfection, compiling an 11-1 collective record and accounting for 35 percent of Linn-Mar’s points.
