The Highlanders sent a large contingent to the Glendive Invitational on Saturday and a smaller group to the Havre Middle School Invitational that same day. Again, our Highlanders came away with impressive results!
In Glendive, there were 13 Clubs in attendance. The Highlanders had the 2nd most wrestlers registered with 47. At the end of the day, an incredible TWENTY FOUR Highlanders were crowned CHAMPIONS and 41 Top-3 individual place winners were honored.
In Havre, we competed as a club team against the other programs that are in the meat of their regular Middle School season’s. With only 11 kids entered in the meet, the Highlanders walked away with 5th place out of 14 schools on the backs of four Individual CHAMPIONS and nine Top 3 finishers.
With less that a month of season left and only 4 competition weekends remaining, the Highlanders are really riding high at the moment! We expect BIG things in March. Our young kids will be at the Plentywood Invitational this coming Saturday while many of our 5th thru 8th graders will be at Middle School State in Lewistown.

Wow. What a weekend it was for GWC!! Our Highlanders came out swinging and didn’t let up. The Coaches cannot be more proud of where we are at this point in the season. Hard work and dedication is proving to be a recipe for success for this impressive group of kids.
The Highlanders put a tournament-high 60 kiddos into the “Civic Center Slam” this Saturday on our home mats. It was an event we co-hosted with the Wolf Point Wrestling Club and it did NOT disappoint. We crowned 15 individual CHAMPIONS and Thirty Six Top 3 place winners at the “Slam”.
Some of our Middle School Grapplers (5th thru 8th Grade) were on the road at the Great Falls Duals on Friday Night and the Choteau Duals on Saturday. Our 10 wrestlers in attendance amassed an INCREDIBLE record of 53 WINS and only 10 Losses. We’ve never had such a dominant 2-days since we began traveling to the event over a decade ago. Those individuals then made the trek from Choteau to Butte on Saturday Night.
On Sunday, it was time for the Cyclops at the Butte Civic Center. Outside, of State AAU and the Montana Open, the Cyclops is the premier youth wrestling event held annually in Montana. Our 14 competitors made a statement to the rest of the State, as we came away with the Small Team CHAMPIONSHIP trophy on the backs of 13 top six place winners and FIVE CHAMPIONS!
This coming weekend; the majority of our Club will be at the Glendive Invitational on Saturday, while many of our 5th thru 8th grade kids will attend the Havre Middle School Invitational that same day.

Our Highlanders were on FIRE this past weekend! We welcomed a RECORD 455 kids to our home tournament and we put on a show in the friendly confines of Scottie Gymnasium. We entered our own record of 80 grapplers into the competition. When the dust had settled, GWC crowned Fifteen individual CHAMPIONS and 57 Top 4 finishers!
After a long day on the mats, the kids were back at it on Sunday morning in Malta at the “Cover the Court” event. The Highlanders proved to be even more dominant in rival territory. We entered a event-best 67 wrestlers on Sunday and came away with an amazing 21 Individual CHAMPIONS and 53 Top 4 finishers! WOW. What a great couple of days for these future Scotties.
