The Montana Open is hands down the TOUGHEST Youth Tournament in the Region. This year’s version featured 2,041 grapplers from 16 different states. The Glasgow Wrestling Club brought a record 57 kids to the event, making them the 5th largest team in attendance. The Highlanders scored 254 points to finish in 5th Place Overall out of 157 teams. The 5th place finish ties the club record from last season at the Montana Open. The Highlanders topped every Class A and Class B/C feeder program at the prestigous event. Team Champs (Billings West), Team Real Life (Post Falls, Idaho), Billings Wrestling Club, and Mine Yard Dogs (Butte) were the only four teams to finish ahead of GWC in the final standings.
Three wrestlers claimed “The Skull” by winning Individual Championships and a CLUB RECORD 33 Individuals placed in the top 6 at the event to find themselves on the podium! Last year’s total of 24 placers was the previous standard. The three champions is tied for the 2nd most for the Highlanders at the Montana Open in the 17-year history of the event.
6th Graders, Jack Morehouse and Aiden Aune, will now represent Team Montana at the AAU National Duals in Iowa this weekend as the youth season officially comes to a close. It was another ultra-succesfull season for the local squad and they will be back and ready to make some more noise next winter.
