JINYUP ON THE LONG ROAD TO STATE!

By David LaDeaux '13

This is a very exciting year for wrestling coach Clay Leonard- Jinyup Jung is going to state. 

After being at Red Cloud for only two years, foreign exchange student Jinyup Jung is now in Aberdeen, SD going to the state wrestling tournament. Jinyup is at a weight class of 180lbs and he is wrestling Brady Reiff, a 220 lb beast from Parkston, SD. Jin is currently at a record of 29-9, most of which are pins.

         Jin’s been ripping up the mat from the start of his season, taking first in the Red Cloud Invite, first in the Hot Springs JV tourney, second in the Mullen Invite, and third in the Custer Invite and LNI.

         Jin wrestled last year as a junior with a record of only 20-28 but this year he has stepped up his game on the mat with a nice record of 29-9. Jin has worked hard all season and has reached his goal of making it to state.
