The SWAT Valkyrie wrestling team gets to cap off their inaugural season with six wrestlers competing at the first ever sanctioned girls state wrestling tournament on Thursday and Friday in Coralville. Valkyrie head coach Tiffany South said it has been a very rewarding process getting the program going.

The Valkyrie started this season as a cooperative program that draws student-athletes from CAM, Atlantic, Griswold, Nodaway Valley, and Southwest Valley and they have enjoyed strong participation numbers. Coach South said it’s been great to be involved in a lot of competition and she thinks it will only grow from here.

Many of the wrestlers are competing for the first time this season and Coach South said it has been awesome to see the team share their growth and successes.

Six wrestlers will be hitting the mats for SWAT at the State Tournament on Thursday and Friday at Xtream Arena in Coralville: Jazz Christensen, Ady Lundquist, Evy Marlin, Grace Britten, Ellen Gerlock, and Haley Armstrong. Coach South said their is a lot of excitement surrounding the team.

We’ll have reports on results throughout the tournament on KJAN. Jim Field will provide those reports at 10:45 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 2:45 p.m., and halftime of each of our evening basketball games. Listen to the full interview with Coach South below.
