Eleven Highlanders extended their season at this weekend ‘s prestigous Black Hills Nationals / AAU World Folkstyle Wrestling Championships in Spearfish, South Dakota. There were a record 1,472 wrestlers in attendance at the 20th Annual event. GWC may have brought a small group, but they would prove mighty! 9 of the 11 found their way onto the podium with a Top 8 finish to earn individual “AAU All-American” Honors.
FIVE Highlanders would make the finals; with TenLea Sundeen, Taden Sundeen, Saunten Gamas, and Brenley Flaten finishing runner-up and Collins Flaten winning an Individual Championship. Tate Lehner, Madison Lamb, Lyla Lehner, and Harlee Vandermars would also snag podium spots at the 2-day event.
The Glasgow Wrestling Club ended up finishing in 13th Place overall out of 228 teams in attendance. Securing 3rd place among ALL Montana teams. Trailing only Team Champs (Billings West) and Heights Wrestling Club (Billings Skyview). The Highlanders were the smallest team in the Top 20 of the final Team Standings. An overall impressive showing by the local squad.
Eight Highlanders will travel with Team Montana this coming weekend to Des Moines, Iowa for the AAU National Duals! William Kirkland, Tyler King, Madison Lamb, Hunter Pierce, Jack Morehouse and Aiden Aune have ALL qualified. Chloe Lamb and Bailey Dooley will travel as Middle School Girl alternates.
Our annual End of the Year Pizza/Bowling Party will take place at El Cor Del Lanes this Sunday April 7th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. ALL current Glasgow Highlanders and their immediate families are invited to close out this highly succesful season in grand fashion.
