Saturday the UMS matmen were in Fairfield for their divisional meet.
Conrad had 22 wrestlers for the match. When the dust had cleared, UMS wrestlers came home with a second place trophy.
Coach Kevin Moritz commented, “Even though we got second, it was still a good season.” He went on to add, “Most of the 22 wrestlers are underclassmen and will be back next year. There were only six eighth graders on the team.”
The Buckaroos came back with four first places, five seconds, and five fourth places.
The top four teams and places went like this: Choteau 201, Conrad 174, Fairfield 103, Shelby 99, followed by Vaughn, Fort Benton, Cascade, C-JI, Cut Bank, Valier, East Glacier, Belt and Browning.
Individual results for Conrad show the tournament record and place, the school record for the season and for the eight graders, their overall UMS record.

Conrad High School academic teams continued their outstanding string of wins in the fourth annual Principal’s Cup competition held at the College of Great Falls.
About 200 of the regions top high school students convene each spring for individual and head-to-head team competition.
During the morning sessions, each student takes a 100 question multiple-choice test covering Social Studies, English, Math and Science.
The individual scores were combined for each five-member team and were used to determine seeding in the 16 rounds double elimination head-to-head competition in the afternoon.
Senior Jace Moon finished second overall and junior Andy Springer gained fourth place in the individual tests.
Conrad team number two, consisting of Moon, senior Freyja Swanson, junior Bjorn Swanson, sophomore Sydney Philipps and freshman Rob Brenteson were seeded in sixth place.

The seeding position was used to place the 39 area teams, from Class AA, A, B and C schools into the double elimination 16-round tournament bracket.
The afternoon head-to-head team competition consisted of 16 rounds with 16 questions in each round.
Questions were orally presented and team members buzzed in and had to respond within 10 seconds.
Incorrect answers cost the team two points and correct answers were awarded five points.
Due to the high seeding in the tournament brackets, both Conrad teams were given byes in the first two rounds.
After 15 rounds only four teams remained in the competition and those were Great Falls number one, Fergus High number one, Conrad number one and two who met on stage at the College of Great Falls for the final showdown.
After the smoke had cleared, Conrad number two emerged as the overall champions for the 2007 competition and Conrad number one finished in third place.
Conrad has finished as the top Class B school in all four years of Principal’s Cup competitions, and this was the first year they came on as overall champions for all classes.
The team was awarded a beautiful traveling trophy.
Coach Eric Gustafson commented, “Conrad High School’s dominance in all of the Principal’s Cup competitions reflects the exceptional education available to all students in our district.”
He was very appreciative to all of the K-12 teachers and parents of the young scholars for all of their work in providing such outstanding intellectuals to work with. |
