Highlanders Crush it on the Home Mats

Highlander Teammates Hunter Pierce & Asher Wersal Embrace After Match

A NEW Record 472 wrestlers from 17 different clubs competed in Scottie Gymnasium this past Saturday for the 2023 Glasgow Wrestling Club Invitational. Breaking last year’s total of 455.
We also had our own NEW RECORD 85 Highlanders competing on the home mats.
The event was kicked off with the traditional parade of athletes. Complete with Strobe lights, Fog Machines, Music, and introductions.
Wrestling wrapped up in less than 6 hours and at the end of the day the Highlanders had 19 Individual CHAMPIONS and 52 Top Three Finishers! Wow.

On Saturday, 57 of those same Highlanders headed 70 miles west to wrestle in the “Cover the Court” event in Malta. That event brought 294 competitors from 12 different clubs and GWC had the 2nd largest contingent in attendance. When the event came to a close, the Highlanders were able to crown 16 Individual CHAMPIONS and 43 Top Three Finishers!

This weekend we will head to the MonDak Open in Williston, North Dakota and the Border Brawl in Plentywood.

GWC Makes Noise in Montana and Wyoming

HIghlanders with some serious “Hardware” at the Wild West Championship

The Highlanders split up this weekend and experienced a lot of success at both events! 46 wrestlers stayed close to home and competed at the Wolf Point Invitational, while 21 veterans attended the Wild West Championship in Casper, Wyoming.
The Wolf Point Invitational featured 337 kids from 11 different clubs. The Highlanders won 67% of their individual matches on the day and crowned 10 individual CHAMPIONS. Twenty seven Top 3 finishes helped power a very solid performance for the local club in what was the season opener for many.
The 21 Highlanders attending Wild West represents a team record for attendees at the prestigious event. GWC ended up with 12 top 6 place finishers, which is also a new club record! We ended up with Nine top 3 finishers included Champion, Taden Sundeen, who is now a Back to Back Wild West Champion! A LOT of Hardware was brought back to our little corner of Montana. Good job kids and coaches.
The Club is back in action this coming weekend with the Glasgow Wrestling Club Invitational at Scottie Gymnasium on Saturday followed by the “Cover the Court” Tournament in Malta on Sunday.

What a start to the 2023 Glasgow Wrestling Club season! Our Highlanders scored 191.5 points to WIN the Medium Team Title at the Miles City Invitational on Sunday. The event featured wrestlers from 17 different clubs.
We were the 5th largest team at the event. We sent 44 grapplers and at the end of the day, GWC had crowned TEN Individual Champions and TWENTY EIGHT top 3 finishers.
