The Swift Current Comp had 5 out of the 26 wrestlers that travelled to Saskatoon's Walter Murray Collegiate go undefeated in their weight division. Those wrestlers include: Ian Hymers and Hayden Cappelle in the Elite Boys, Jon Neustaeter and  Brock Myers in the Novice Boys , and Meghan Chisholm in the Novice Girls. Coaches Allen Blanke and Dan Marchand were pleased with the intensity shown by the young team--however the team will need to focus on improving technique in the coming weeks.
