🤼 South Prairie 6th Graders Shine at 2025 ND Middle School State Wrestling Tournament!
The 2025 North Dakota Middle School State Wrestling Tournament on December 20th was a showcase of talent, determination, and teamwork—none more so than the impressive performances by three South Prairie 6th Grade wrestlers who co-op with Minot Public Schools.
Liam Austin (80 lbs) captured a 1st place finish, demonstrating exceptional skill and composure on the mat. Easton Lockrem (90 lbs) battled his way to a 2nd place finish, showing grit and resilience throughout the tournament. Landen Sandstrom (95 lbs) also earned a 1st place finish, capping off a remarkable run for the South Prairie contingent.
