This season, it looks as if Hamilton County wrestlers will be road warriors.
The first official practice for IHSAA wrestling was on Monday, and teams can begin competition on Nov. 13. County teams won’t be competing right out of the gate, though. Five of them will start on Saturday, Nov. 18, with others conducting their first meets the following week.
Hamilton Heights will host its opener on Nov. 18, conducting its annual Super Six Tournament. Noblesville will also be at the Husky Dome for its first meet. On that same day, Fishers will travel to the Western Invitational, while Hamilton Southeastern will head to Arsenal Tech for the John Hurrle Memorial Invitational. Westfield will also be traveling south, to Beech Grove for the Circle City Classic.
Carmel will begin its season on Nov. 21 with a trip to Lebanon for a dual meet. Sheridan goes on the road for its Nov. 25 opener at the Edgewood Invitational. Guerin Catholic will start on Nov. 29, traveling to Clinton Prairie for a dual meet.
The Golden Eagles will host the Hamilton County meet for the second year in a row. The meet is scheduled for Dec. 16.
