The KSS Wrestling club held their annual Middle School tournament on Friday December 1st at the Kanawhake Survival School. The tournament is open to all high school wrestlers in the province in the Bantam or Middle School age division (Secondary 1 and 2). The tournament is excellent for beginner wrestlers as they compete with other athletes in their age group as opposed to what happens during the regular season. Beurling Academy won the Team title in the Boys Division while KSS captured the Girls Team title.
