For the 2019-2020 wrestling season, the South Dakota High School Activities Association added a team dual state tournament to the 2020 South Dakota High School wrestling championship weekend. Schools had to notify the SDHSAA by December 31st of their intent to be a part of the dual championships. Those teams then had to compete in a minimum of eight regular-season varsity duals during the year, and the top eight teams based on seed points would qualify for the 2020 South Dakota Team Dual Championship.
The Dell Rapids Quarrier wrestling team indicated their intent to participate in the dual championships this season, and on their final dual of the regular season, Dell Rapids secured the #8 spot to qualify for the state dual championships with two more dual wins. Dell Rapids defeated Sioux Falls Roosevelt 53-18 and then defeated Sioux Falls Lincoln 68-10.
Dell Rapids finished their dual season with a record of 14-5 and finished with 42.053 seed points. The entire team will now compete in the 2020 South Dakota Dual Championships Thursday, February 27th through Saturday, February 29th at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls. The other teams will be Pierre (#1 – 45.333), Rapid City Stevens (#2 – 45.222), Brandon Valley (#3 – 45.118), Watertown (#4 – 44.722), Sturgis Brown (#5 – 43.625) , Harrisburg (#6 – 42.462), and Madison (#7 – 42.063).
The Quarriers still have one more major tournament before the state meet. Dell Rapids will look to qualify individuals for the individual state tournament when they go to Brookings on Saturday, February 22nd for the Region 1A Tournament.
