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.
