FOR A HARD COPY OF THIS INFORMATION, COPY AND PASTE IT INTO YOUR FAVORITE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM (MS Word, WordPerfect, etc), AND PRINT IT FROM THERE. >>>>> WEATHER UPDATE <<<<< UPDATED 2/6/04 10:15 AM JWA At this time, although at least three conference schools have closed due to snow (Portage, Reedsburg and Baraboo) the tournament is still a go at the regularly scheduled times (start wrestling at 6:30 PM tonight - Friday). Confirmation from the school admnistrators is being solicted, and we will update this site if the above information changes. One change is that we plan to wrestle only the first two rounds on Friday evening (Preliminaries and Quarterfinals). We will wrestle the balance of the tournament on Saturday, starting at the same scheduled time, but the finals will likely start about one hour later than scheduled (approximately 5:00 PM on Saturday). >>>>> END OF UPDATE <<<<< Wrestling Coaches and Athletic Directors: Sauk Prairie is excited to host the first two-day Badger Conference Tournament.
