For most of the season the Pierre girls have looked like the clear cut front runner to win the girls team title this February. While that will still likely happen the Canton girls are closing the gap and now trail Pierre by just 15 points in the most recent wrestling polls. Canton’s Zoe Adam, who is top ranked in the 190-pound division, did not wrestle at the Bride of the Mid Dakota Monster as she was training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
