The Pagosa Springs High School Lady Pirate wrestling team is heading to Kirtland, N.M., this weekend to compete in the Lady Bronco Invitational tournament being held at Kirtland High School on Saturday, Jan. 11.
Matches are slated to begin at noon.
This is the first action for the Lady Pirates in 2025, with their most recent action being the Warrior Classic tournament held in Grand Junction on Dec. 21, 2024, where the team placed 10th out of a total of 31 teams.
Coach Dan Janowsky explains in a statement to The SUN, “We were hoping to have a home meet scheduled for the girls but we’re unable to find an opponent willing to travel here.”
Janowsky explained that the Lady Pirates instead chose to travel to Kirtland, N.M., for the Lady Bronco Invitational.
“It’s a long day for them but they are getting better and better and they feel it and accepted the challenge in order to keep making progress,” Janowsky writes.
The tournament will feature 11 teams competing from three states: Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.
