Forget the warm up, WDC wrestlers go straight for the cool down

Grant Seelhammer shares the love with a blast of icy water to the back of Logan Seelhammer during a capture the flag exercise Monday night at Fink Park in Wadena. Temperatures hovered in the mid-80s even as the sun sank down. The heat prompted the WDC wrestlers to move from their usual workouts to an outdoor water fight.

WADENA — When the going gets tough, the Wolverine wrestling team keeps on going.
Faced with a furnace of a day on Monday, July 18, the typical workout was switched up for the wrestling team. Head coach Brad Wollum opted for a cooler setting with a capture the flag type outing at Fink Park just across the street from Wadena-Deer Creek School.
The kids grabbed squirt guns and water balloons and had a blast blasting one another on the steamy evening.
