(Fargo) This past week, two Nodaway Valley wrestlers made their mark at the National Free Style and Greco-Roman Wrestling Tournament in Fargo, North Dakota.
Ashton Honnold, and Trent Warner, wrestling at 220 and 285, respectively, for Team Iowa, were two of 3000 competitors from 49 U.S. States. Both wrestlers made it to the final round of 12 in the Free-Style Tournament, one step away from all-American Status. Both wrestlers were in 128-man brackets.
