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.
