The Highlanders are in midseason form! Wolf Point and Havre provided some great competition over the weekend and the boys and girls once again seemingly passed every test. The club split up on Saturday as the majority wrestled in the Wolf Point Invitational while many 5th thru 8th graders headest west to the Havre Middle School Invitational.

Wolf Point featured nine different clubs and offered the 47 Highlanders in attendance another opportunity at key divisional opponents. GWC crowned 16 Individual Champions and secured 34 top three finishers in Wolf Point! The future Scotties finished with the 2nd most Pins/Tech Falls at the event with 54 total and a 64% overall winning percentage.

The Havre Middle School event is school sanctioned for Central Montana and has traditionally allowed clubs to enter to boost the competition level. A small group of Highlanders brought some punch to the meet and would walk away with 3 Individual titles! 12 out of 13 grapplers found the podium with a top 6 finish. GWC had the BEST winning percentage out of the 15 teams in attendance; finishing at 71% (34-14 overall record).

On Sunday, the young Highlanders teamed up with some of the older kids to compete in the Pre-Pony Rumble at Havre High School! 15 clubs and 221 wrestlers formed a small Northeast Division event. GWC traveled with 24 and walked away with 11 Champions! 19 of 24 Highlanders finished in the top three and the team impressed with a 63% overall winning percentage.

Next weekend will have the Highlanders in two different directions once again. The Glendive Invitational will host their local AAU tournament on Saturday. The Montana Middle School State Championships will also be held on Saturday in Lewistown for all 5th thru 8th grade wrestlers. On Sunday, there will be a Little Guy event, called the “Big Spring Brawl”, also in Lewistown.
