Yesterday, Ben Reifel welcomed college athletes competing in the NCAA Division II Wrestling Tournament in Sioux Falls. They stopped by to talk with students about grit, resilience, and the importance of showing up and giving your best every day.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with our students, and best of luck at the tournament this weekend! 💪🤼‍♂️
