Photos: Dutch Wrestle Well in Finale
On Thursday Mar. 11, the Guilderland varsity wrestling team traveled to Averill Park High School in their season finale of the shortened season. No team score was kept so that all the wrestlers could get on the mat and not receive a forfeit. Some Dutch wrestlers went twice. Wrestling was classified as a “high-risk” sport under the COVID-19 guidelines and didn’t get approval till near the end of the winter sports season.
