Despite the early morning thunderstorm, we were able to pour the foundation for the Wrestling Building after a delay and construction stays on schedule.

Work is progressing on the new Wrestling practice facility at Guthrie High School. The pad for the foundation has been prepared and concrete is expected to be poured tomorrow morning.

This project is expected to be completed in late Fall and will provide a much larger practice facility and locker rooms for the girls and boys wrestling teams. Home matches will still be in the High School gym.
