RAPID CITY, S.D. – The 2021 SDHSAA State High School Wrestling Championships will take place at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City on February 25-27. This year, the state wrestling tournaments will look a tad different. Because of COVID-19 protocols, a decision was made to split up the two classes, A and B, into their own venues. While both classes are at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center complex, Class A is being housed at the Ice Arena, while the Barnett Arena will host Class B.

When you think of the things you regularly see at the annual Rodeo Rapid City event, human and animal athletes, spectators, judges, vendors and more likely come to mind.
However, there’s one thing that’s consistently been there for over a decade that you may not think about– the dirt in the rodeo arena.
Operations manager Rory Hammerbeck says the same dirt has been used for the past 12 years, with adjustments made to the blend from year to year on an as needed basis. He says the dirt is piled about a foot high across the arena floor and varies in height by a few inches in certain spots to accommodate specific rodeo events.
