FIRST NATIONS HOLDS TWO SUCCESSFUL EVENTS, LOOKING FORWARD TO THIRD

First Nations AAU National Wrestling Tournament June 3-5, 2014

The First Nations first national tournament was a success with 48 wrestling participating in this year's tournament. We had wrestlers come from New Mexico, Minnesota, North Dakota, Arizona, Washington, Montana, Florida, and of course South Dakota. It was a great experience for each individual as they got to attend a wrestling clinic put on by South Dakota State University's head wrestling coach Chris Bono. There was three sessions for the kids to attend and we got a lot of good feedback from the participants and parents.
