The Helias Crusaders have wrestled three duals this season. They’ve had just two matches in those duals go to decisions. “We’re young right now, it’s part of the growing process,” Helias coach Weston Keleher said Tuesday night after the Crusaders defeated the School of the Osage Indians 48-33 in a dual at Rackers Fieldhouse. “It’s not what we want.”

Weston Keleher has learned a few things during his time as Helias’ wrestling coach. When he first got to Helias, he said everything was about winning. Now … “It’s about getting better, just improve from what we were a week ago,” Keleher said as the Crusaders prepared to host Hannibal and Warrenton in a tri-dual today at Rackers Fieldhouse. “The goal is to win a state title and you don’t do that in November or December."
The Helias Crusaders and Lady Crusaders are on opposite ends when it comes to numbers this cross country season. But the competition for varsity spots is similar. “We’ve got a lot of great competitions going on in practice,” Helias coach Leslie Verslues said as the Crusaders and Lady Crusaders start the season at the Cross Country Kickoff today at Gans Creek in Columbia. “We’ve enjoyed lots of good running practices.”
