Are there any tournamnets coming up for Juniors? Freestyle, Greco and Folkstyle?

Never see much north of the twin cities area. It looks like there was one in Mahnomen last Saturday.

It is too bad that the State Greco/Freestyle tournament at Augsburg is on the same date as the April ACT. Many kids have conflicts with regular season tournnaments for the December and February dates, so they have to take it in April. And I would think most "Junior" age kids looking at college need to get a good score in either their Junior or Senior year, so this is an unfortunate conflict.

That's exactly what I was thinking, we have ACT's too, bummer!
Numbers for greco might be lower, well by one anyway :angry:

Unfortunately there really isn't much we can do about dates. We kind of get backed into a corner as there are so many other events out there that we have to schedule around. It's unfortunate that kids have to take it that day but not much I can do. I did notice that there were also test dates back in Sept and Oct so it's not like this is the 1 day of the year when hs kids can take it.

Yes, date conflicts are hard. It was nice that last year it wasn't an ACT weekend. The issue with alternate dates is that it isn't offered in all locations for every date and if you want to take it a 2nd time to improve your score, you may have to skip Greco.
