Thursday’s meet marks the first time in the state of Florida that two teams have wrestled on the football field in an official high school dual meet, Jupiter coach Doug Rasmusson said.
The school hopes to draw 1,000 wrestling fans to the event, which has been billed “Wrestling Under The Lights.”
Rasmusson hopes to make it an annual event.
