The OMS wrestling team travelled to Williamsville today to wrestle Bloomington and Williamsville. We lost to a strong Bloomington lineup, but had some good takeaways to learn from. Before we could wrestle Williamsville, a transformer blew and the power went out. We didn't get to wrestle them, but we'll see them this weekend. Looking forward to our big tournament this weekend!
