Kenyon-Wanamingo, Northfield, Owatonna Wrestling Teams Ranked

The Kenyon-Wanamingo Knights were looking forward to a home meet Thursday against the Pine Island Panthers.  Unfortunately for the Knights Pine Island's wresting team is under quarantine for the next two weeks.

K-W Activities Director Randy Hockinson says they were able to schedule matches with Hiawatha Valley League powerhouse Kasson-Mantorville and Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson in Kasson Thursday.

The schedule says 5:00 p.m. K-W wrestles K-M, 6:00 p.m. it's K-W and LA/RP.  7:00 p.m. the Komets go up against LA/RP.  They evidently expect quick matches.

It's doubtful don't you think that a State Wrestling Tournament will happen due to COVID-19.  At least in the traditional fashion.
