Three Rosemount Wrestlers Are Top Seeds

Section 3AAA individual tournament is Friday and Saturday at Eastview.

Three Rosemount wrestlers have No. 1 seeds in their respective weight classes heading into this weekend's Section 3AAA individual wrestling tournament.

The tournament runs Friday and Saturday at Eastview High School.

Section coaches met Wednesday night to vote on seeding for the tournament, and when the dust had settled, Dan Rosa (113), Steve Levine (126) and Adam Jackson (152) were each on the top line in their respective brackets.

Section team champion Apple Valley has seven No. 1 seeds, Eagan has two and Burnsville and Park have one each. The top two wrestlers from each weight division advance to the state tournament.

“We're looking forward (to individuals),” Rosemount coach Brett Larson said following last Friday night's runner-up finish in the team tournament. “We've got a number of quality individuals, and we're looking to have a good tournament again next Friday night.”

While there promises to be great action in every bracket, possibly the most anticipated match of the tournament is at 152 pounds, where Rosemount senior Adam Jackson (36-2) is expected to meet Apple Valley eighth grader Mason Manville (35-3) in the finals. Rosemount's coaching staff held Jackson out of the team finals last Friday night—a lopsided Apple Valley victory—choosing not to give the Eagles a chance to get an up-close scouting report on him.

“Next week is an important week for us,” Jackson said last Friday night. “(The Eagles) are a top-five team in the nation, so we knew they were going to win (the section), but we didn't just lay down for them.”
