Preston Wrestling Prepares for Star Valley Test
Preston High aims for a milestone meet as coach Tom Duce moves Bart Gundersen to 185 pounds for a key duel with Star Valley. The Indians, coming off a 28-20 loss to Snake River, face Wyoming’s second-place team and later attend the Preston Quad at 1 p.m. January 15. Two Preston wrestlers may join a Cache Valley all-star Japan touring squad, but eligibility concerns end their participation this weekend.
