Highlanders Rounding into Midseason Form

The Glasgow Wrestling Club is coming off of a busy weekend that saw competition in Butte, Poplar, and Plentywood. The Poplar and Plentywood Invitationals were Northeast Division events while the Cyclops in Butte offered many of our wrestlers a taste of some premier competition.

On Saturday and Sunday, Twenty five Highlanders did battle in the Butte Civic Center at an event that featured 83 clubs and 1,212 competitors. The Cyclops is known as the premier regular season event in Montana and it did not disappoint. In the end, GWC would finish in 10th place overall with 178.5 team points. Finishing 4th place in the medium team division and 2nd place amongst all Class B/C feeder programs at the event. 18 individuals found the podium with a top 6 finish; while five Highlanders would bring home the GOLD!

The Poplar Invite featured 10 clubs and 307 wrestlers. Twenty six Highlanders took to the mat and put on quite a show against fellow Northeast Division competition. Eight Individual Champions were crowned and nineteen Top 3 finishers would ultimately lead the way for GWC.

On Sunday, a small contingent of the club attended the Border Brawl Tournament hosted by the Northeast Wrestling Club at Plentywood High School. Eight clubs attended the event and it featured a total of 166 wrestlers. Eight of our Highlanders showed up and wrestled extremely well. All eight finished in the top 3 and two were crowned Individual Champions.

This upcoming week the club will host our Annual Spaghetti Feed and Pie Auction on Thursday Night 6:00 PM at the Glasgow Elks Lodge! Over the weekend, we will send a large group of wrestlers to both Havre and Glendive.

GWC Shines at MonDak Open in Williston

The Highlanders hit the road to North Dakota this weekend to compete at the MonDak Open on the campus of Williston State. 605 wrestlers from twenty eight different youth clubs were in attendance. GWC was well represented as the 4th largest team at the event with 50 strong! The Highlanders won 61% of their matches. 62 of those wins came by pin and another 7 by technical fall. The team was led by 13 Individual Champions and 31 top four finishers.
The coaches could not be more proud than we are right now after our first five weeks of practice and competition. We are looking forward to taking the traditional weekend off to cheer on our Scottie Wrestling teams this Thursday through Saturday at the High School State Tournament in the Billings Metra. The club will be back in action with both the Poplar Invitational and the Butte Cyclops Tournament the weekend of February 22-23.

Highlanders Dominate Hometown Tournament

The Glasgow Wrestling Club Invitational set participation records across the board this year with 25 clubs represented by 575 wrestlers! Breaking last year’s record of 549. It is the fifth consecutive year we have broken an all-time attendance record. The Highlanders had the largest team in attendance with 90 kids on the mat Saturday. GWC had a GREAT day and ended up with 18 individual Champions and an outstanding 53 top four finishers! Thank you to our parents and volunteers for stepping up and putting on an event that we can all be proud of.

On Sunday, many of those same Highlanders were back on the mat in Malta at the “Cover the Court” event. Malta’s tournament featured 19 clubs and 368 wrestlers. GWC brought the second biggest squad with 53 entered into the tournament. Only the tournament host had more competing. The Highlanders had another great showing; finishing with 8 Individual Champions and 40 top four finishers!

Next Saturday, the Club will be headed to the MonDak Open in WIlliston, North Dakota.
