30 years ago – February 2, 1990
On Saturday January 29, the Eagles wrestling team participated in the Strasburg Invitational Wrestling Tournament with 19 other teams. Two Gilpin wrestlers, Fred Weber and Brian Robertson, finished sixth in their respective weight classes. The team is busily preparing for its next event, the district qualifying tournament, to be held at Gilpin County School next Saturday, February 10. Seven schools: Byers, Denver Academy, Gilpin, Lyons, Soroco, Strasburg, and West Grande will participate. Two wrestlers from each weight class will qualify for the state wrestling meet. The tournament will be double elimination, with a cross-bracketed consolation round. That means everyone will wrestle at least twice, and a player who loses his first match could still be eligible to wrestle for third place in the consolation round. Weigh-ins for the wrestlers will start at 9:30 a.m. The first session will consist of preliminary matches beginning at 11 a.m. and quarterfinals at 1 p.m. The second session, beginning at 6 p.m., will feature the final and consolation matches. Admission will be charged for each of the two sessions in compliance with regulations of the Colorado High School Athletic Association. Admission charges are $1.50 for students K-12, $2.50 for adults. Preschool children will be admitted free.
