Coach Kellen Delaney, at the Viking wrestling team's annual banquet Feb. 26, extolled the virtues of his athletes.
But he said he could hardly have expected the academic success that nine student-athletes experienced this past season: a 3.5 grade-point average alongside 20 matches (for boys) and 15 matches (for girls), a difficult combination of academics and athletics.
Some schools would have difficult sporting even one team member with a lofty GPA, much less nine of them.
