Eleven Highlanders extended their season at this weekend ‘s prestigous Black Hills Nationals / AAU World Folkstyle Wrestling Championships in Spearfish, South Dakota. There were a record 1,472 wrestlers in attendance at the 20th Annual event. GWC may have brought a small group, but they would prove mighty! 9 of the 11 found their way onto the podium with a Top 8 finish to earn individual “AAU All-American” Honors.

FIVE Highlanders would make the finals; with TenLea Sundeen, Taden Sundeen, Saunten Gamas, and Brenley Flaten finishing runner-up and Collins Flaten winning an Individual Championship. Tate Lehner, Madison Lamb, Lyla Lehner, and Harlee Vandermars would also snag podium spots at the 2-day event.

The Glasgow Wrestling Club ended up finishing in 13th Place overall out of 228 teams in attendance. Securing 3rd place among ALL Montana teams. Trailing only Team Champs (Billings West) and Heights Wrestling Club (Billings Skyview). The Highlanders were the smallest team in the Top 20 of the final Team Standings. An overall impressive showing by the local squad.

Eight Highlanders will travel with Team Montana this coming weekend to Des Moines, Iowa for the AAU National Duals! William Kirkland, Tyler King, Madison Lamb, Hunter Pierce, Jack Morehouse and Aiden Aune have ALL qualified. Chloe Lamb and Bailey Dooley will travel as Middle School Girl alternates.

Our annual End of the Year Pizza/Bowling Party will take place at El Cor Del Lanes this Sunday April 7th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. ALL current Glasgow Highlanders and their immediate families are invited to close out this highly succesful season in grand fashion.

The most prestigious tournament in our home state is the Montana Open at the Billings Metra! GWC brought the 6th largest team to the event this year with 55 wrestlers. It was a total team effort to put up 221 points and finish in 13th place overall out of 195 clubs in attendance. The Highlanders were 3rd place amongst Class B/C feeder programs.

Leading the way were four Individual Champions and four runner-ups! TenLea Sundeen, Ryan Gamas, Aurora Markle, and Walker Kirkland would each collect a tournament title and WIN the coveted “Skull”. 31 out of 55 wrestlers reached the podium with a Top 6 finish. The 4 champions and 31 individual placers both make up the 2nd most in club history at the premier event.

The Open signals the end of the season for the majority of the Club. The Highlanders, however, will send a smaller contingent to Black Hills Nationals in Spearfish, South Dakota this coming Friday and Saturday. Eight Highlanders will also join Team Montana and head to the AAU National Duals in Des Moines, Iowa the first weekend in April.

WOW! The Highlanders put on one heck of a show in Montana’s greatest venue this weekend. For the first time in club history; the Glasgow Wrestling Club Boys WON the Large Team AAU State Championship. The Girls won the Large Team title in 2022 and the Boys have claimed Small and Medium team titles throughout the storied history of the program, but had never went up against every single Class AA feeder program to win the highest honor. Until this year!

There was a record 1,271 boys in attendance representing 85 different youth clubs. The Highlander boys brought 43 wrestlers to the big dance and scored a whopping 463 points. It was good enough for the 4th most points overall; which in itself is the best finish in program history! Only Team Champs (Billings West), Sidney, and Billings Wrestling Club finished with more total points. The 463 points is the 2nd most the Glasgow Boys have ever scored at a State AAU tournament. (492 points in 2022)
According to Montana AAU By-Laws. The small, medium, and Large Team Titles are determined by a club’s total points divided by their total number of wrestlers. That formula gave Glasgow 10.767 points/per wrestler just ahead of Class AA power Team Champs (Billings West) with 10.535 points/per wrestler. 2-time defending AAU Large Team Champion, Huntley Project, finished in 3rd place and Billings Wrestling Club finished in a close 4th. It was the strength of six Individual CHAMPIONS and twenty one state placers that put the mighty Highlanders over the top!

The Boys also finished in 2nd place overall for the famed Bobby McKinley Trophy; which is given to the best “10-man” team at the event. Huntley Project would score 82 to win the plaque, GWC would come just one point short by scoring 81, and Team Champs was 3rd in the McKinley race with 79 points.

The Highlander Girls would shine bright right alongside the boys this weekend as they were simply DOMINANT from start to finish! The event featured a record 448 girls and GWC brought their own record of 24 girls to the State Meet. It was the 3rd largest female team in attendance. At the end of three intense days of Wrestling; the Highlander Girls would finish in 2nd Place overall out of 64 clubs with a team record 243.5 points. The girls added an Individual Champion and a team record nineteen individual state placers! Only Class AA Billings Darkhorse Girls (Billings Senior) would put up more team points this weekend in the Metra. It is the 4th consecutive year that the Highlander Girls have finished in the Top 3 overall at the State AAU tournament and the 4th consecutive year of finishing above ALL other Class B/C feeder programs. The future is extremely bright for the ladies of Glasgow Wrestling.

The Girls also finished in 3rd place overall for the Walt Egged Award; which is given to the best “10-man” team at the event. Billings Darkhorse would score 77 to win the plaque, Billings Heights scored 56 to finish runner-up, and the Highlanders rounded out the top three with 52 points.

It was another year of records being smashed by the local club. The 67 wrestlers was the second most GWC has ever brought to a State AAU Meet. The 40 combined Boys and Girls Individual State Placers breaks last year’s record of 37! The 706.5 combined Team Points is also a NEW standard for a youth Wrestling Club that has been around since 1968. To top it all off, six Highlanders used their performances from this weekend to earn a spot on the AAU National Duals team. William Kirkland, Jack Morehouse, Aiden Aune, Hunter Pierce, Tyler King, and Madison Lamb will now represent Team Montana in Des Moines, Iowa on April 5th-7th. Bailey Dooley and Chloe Lamb have both been named as Team Montana alternates for the trip to Iowa. Outstanding all the way around.

GWC will do it all again next weekend as the Highlanders will head back to the Billings Metra for the premier event in the region, the Montana Open! Action will begin late Friday afternoon and continue through Sunday afternoon. The event is expected to smash more attendance records.

The Highlanders closed out the 2024 “Regular Season” this weekend at the Annual Brodie Gorder Memorial Iron Eagle Team Duals and Individual Tournament in Sidney!

The Glasgow Wrestling Club has been attending the Team Duals for the last decade and this year’s marks the best finish in club history. GWC finished in 3rd Place overall out of 20 Dual Teams. Saturday brought high-intensity action to Sidney High School and our team responded by going 4-0 and winning the “D Pool”. During these preliminary duals; Glasgow defeated Williston, Butte, Sidney (JV), and Lewistown. That effort landed them in the “Gold Bracket” late Saturday afternoon.

The Gold Bracket featured three other regional power house programs; Team Champs Black (Billings West), Dakota Rattlers (Minot, ND.), and Team Brodie (Sidney Varsity). The Highlanders were defeated by the eventual 1st place squad, Team Champs Black, during semifinal action, but it was a very competitive effort by our local kids. To close it out, GWC was pitted against their Northeast Montana rival, Team Brodie out of Sidney. In the end, it was the Highlanders that grabbed the convincing 65-50 victory over the host club. AWESOME job GWC.

On Sunday, it was time for the Individual tournament. The Highlanders were the 3rd largest team at the event, with 48 wrestlers taking the mat. This year’s Brodie Gorder Iron Eagle featured a record 38 teams and 696 competitors. GWC would crown 8 Individual Champions and 36 out of 48 Highlanders would find the podium with a Top 6 finish! The club finished with the 4th most Pins/Tech Falls at the event and an overall 55% winning percentage.

Postseason begins this week as the club will head to the Billings Metra to compete at the STATE AAU Tournament on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 70+ Highlanders are expected to make the trek to the big dance.

The Glasgow Wrestling Club has officially entered the “stretch run” of the 2024 season and 58 Highlanders were back on the mats over the weekend! When the calendar flips to March it always represents the most crucial four weeks of competition. The Middle School State Tournament is traditionally held on the first Saturday of March in Lewistown, Montana and provides the youth club’s 5th thru 8th graders with a chance at ALL-Class recognition! This year’s Montana Middle School State Championships had a record 772 wrestlers in attendance. GWC brought a club record 20 wrestlers to the premier event. When the dust settled, the Highlanders would tie a club record with SIX individual place winners. Jack Morehouse and Tyler King would lead the way with both finishing runner-up in their respective weight classes. The Highlander boys finished 12th place overall out of 55 teams with 117.5 team points. It was good enough for 3rd place among Class B/C feeder programs. The Highlander girls finished in 11th place overall out of 44 teams with 64.5 team points. It was good enough for 6th place among Class B/C feeder programs.

Also on Saturday, 25 young Highlanders attended the Battle in the Badlands in Glendive. GWC’s small contingent impressed with 7 individual Champions and 19 top three finishers. A 61% overall winning percentage was tops among the 16 clubs in attendance!

Finally on Sunday, a group of Highlanders closed out the weekend at the Big Spring Brawl in Lewistown. The team finished in 2nd place overall out of 13 clubs with 81 team points. Only finishing behind the tournament host; the Fergus Wrestling Club. 13 Highlanders showed up and showed out, finishing with 5 individual Champions and putting all 13 on the podium with top five finishes. Again, Glasgow would finish with the best team winning percentage at the event. Winning at a 65% clip on Sunday!

This Thursday will be the club’s most important annual fundraiser. The Glasgow Wrestling Club’s 19th Annual Spaghetti Feed and Pie Auction will get underway at the Glasgow Elks Lodge at 6:00 PM. Auction will begin at 7:00 PM. The final 4 weeks of the season will feature incredible competition.

The Highlanders are in midseason form! Wolf Point and Havre provided some great competition over the weekend and the boys and girls once again seemingly passed every test. The club split up on Saturday as the majority wrestled in the Wolf Point Invitational while many 5th thru 8th graders headest west to the Havre Middle School Invitational.

Wolf Point featured nine different clubs and offered the 47 Highlanders in attendance another opportunity at key divisional opponents. GWC crowned 16 Individual Champions and secured 34 top three finishers in Wolf Point! The future Scotties finished with the 2nd most Pins/Tech Falls at the event with 54 total and a 64% overall winning percentage.

The Havre Middle School event is school sanctioned for Central Montana and has traditionally allowed clubs to enter to boost the competition level. A small group of Highlanders brought some punch to the meet and would walk away with 3 Individual titles! 12 out of 13 grapplers found the podium with a top 6 finish. GWC had the BEST winning percentage out of the 15 teams in attendance; finishing at 71% (34-14 overall record).

On Sunday, the young Highlanders teamed up with some of the older kids to compete in the Pre-Pony Rumble at Havre High School! 15 clubs and 221 wrestlers formed a small Northeast Division event. GWC traveled with 24 and walked away with 11 Champions! 19 of 24 Highlanders finished in the top three and the team impressed with a 63% overall winning percentage.

Next weekend will have the Highlanders in two different directions once again. The Glendive Invitational will host their local AAU tournament on Saturday. The Montana Middle School State Championships will also be held on Saturday in Lewistown for all 5th thru 8th grade wrestlers. On Sunday, there will be a Little Guy event, called the “Big Spring Brawl”, also in Lewistown.

The Glasgow Wrestling Club once again enjoyed an action-packed weekend with plenty of success! 43 Highlanders headed 70 miles east to participate in the Poplar Invitational on Saturday, while 24 wrestlers made the long westward trek to Butte to participate in the prestigous “Cyclops” event on Saturday and Sunday.

In Poplar, GWC would crown 12 Individual Champions and 31 top three finishers. The team turned in the 2nd most pins/tech falls at the event with 50 overall and finished with a 59% winning percentage for the day. The tournament featured 11 local clubs.

In Butte, it was nothing short of dominance on a grand stage as 20 out of 24 Highlanders would find the podium and secure a top six finish. An incredible 14 Highlanders would ultimately wrestle in the Championship round. The club finished with 12 runner-ups and two Individual Champions. Collins Flaten and Jack Morehouse would both grab gold in their respective weight classes.

The Cyclops is the largest annual event in the State of Montana outside of State AAU and the Montana Open. This year’s version featured 75 clubs and 1,157 wrestlers. GWC finished with 130 points. Good enough for 5th Place Overall and 2nd Place in the Medium Team standings. The Highlanders trailed only four Class AA feeder programs in the final standings; Team Champs (Billings West), Mine Yard Dogs (Butte), Kalispell (Flathead), and North Montana (Great Falls High). GWC was the 10th largest team in attendance and posted an astonishing 81-33 overall record. That is winning at a 71% clip.

On Saturday, the 6th thru 8th grade grapplers also competed in the Mining City Middle School Tournament in Butte as each of them awaited their Sunday turn at the Cyclops. Riley Pattison grabbed an Individual title at the MS event and three others garnered a top 3 finish!

This weekend the club will be back in the AAU Northeast Division with events in Wolf Point and Havre. Wolf Point will host their annual Invitational on Saturday. Havre will host a middle school event on Saturday for 5th-8th graders and their youth tournament will take place on Sunday. The Highlanders plan to have a large contingent at every event.

It was another great weekend for our Hometown Highlanders! The Glasgow Wrestling Club tested their mettle at the MonDak Open in Williston on Saturday and the Border Brawl in Plentywood on Sunday. Neither event could hold GWC down, however, as it was another ultra-successful showing for the future Scotties.

On Saturday, the MonDak Open was held at “The Well” on the campus of Williston State College. It featured 34 clubs and 551 wrestlers! The Glasgow Wrestling Club had the 3rd largest club in attendance with 55 strong. At the end of a long day of wrestling, GWC would finish with 14 individual Champions and 36 top three finishes! The team grabbed the 2nd most pins/tech falls with 63 in total. Only the tournament host would finish with more. The team’s 61% winning percentage trailed only the Dakota Rattlers (Minot, ND).

On Sunday, a smaller contingent of Highlanders took part in the Border Brawl held in the Plentywood High School Gymnasium. Sunday’s group was small, but mighty! 21 Highlanders made the trek and participated in an event that featured 10 clubs and 175 wrestlers. GWC had the 4th largest team at this small event; yet finished with the 2nd most pins/tech falls with 39 total and a tournament best winning percentage of 68%. 10 Individual Champions were crowned at the Border Brawl, while 20 individuals finished in the top three!

Next weekend provides the lone “open” weekend on the traditional Glasgow Wrestling Club Schedule. The open week is strategically placed to allow all youth wrestlers and their parents a chance to attend the High School State Championships at the Billings Metra. Good Luck to our Scotties this weekend!

This year’s Glasgow Wrestling Club Invitational SMASHED a participation record for a 4th consecutive year. Saturday’s event featured 19 clubs and an incredible 549 wrestlers which topped last year’s record of 472. It is the largest tournament ever held in the Northeast Division of Montana AAU. WOW.

Despite the massive attendance, the event could not have ran any smoother! Tournament organizers and parents worked collaboratively on an event that ended up finishing 890 matches on 8 mats in just under 6 hours. Hats off to everyone who once again played a part in such a succesful event and thank you to ALL of the kids and parents who made the trek to Glasgow this year.

The Highlanders made sure to take full advantage of the HOME mats! GWC had the largest team in attendance with 84 wrestlers in competition. Ultimately, 22 Highlanders would WIN Individual Championsips and 50 would secure a Top 3 finish. The Glasgow Wrestling Club also led the tournament with 101 Pins/Tech Falls and finished with an overall 57% winning percentage.

On Sunday, the Highlanders were right back into competition as they traveled 70 miles west to Malta for the Annual “Cover the Court” tournament. This year’s Cover the Court event featured 15 clubs and a record turnout of 333 wrestlers in attendance. Only the host club would have more wrestlers at the event than GWC’s contingent of 47 grapplers! It was another impressive showing from our local squad with 14 Individual CHAMPIONS and 29 Top 3 finishes. Leading the tournament once again in Pins/Tech Falls with 51 total and an overall winning percentage of 53%.

Next weekend; the Glasgow Wrestling Club will head east to Williston on Saturday for the annual MonDak Open and the Plentywood Border Brawl on Sunday.
