The Glasgow Highlanders finished in 2nd Place overall out of 194 teams at the prestigous Montana Open this past weekend. GWC scored an incredible 271.5 points; just five points short of Team Champs (Billings West) for the overall title.
This year’s event featured 2,207 total wrestlers from twenty different states and the Glasgow Wrestling Club incredibly had the largest team in attendance. Represented by 74 strong! The 271.5 points is a new club record at the Montana Open and the runner-up performance is the best placing for the club since the event began 20 years ago.

At the Montana Open; final team score standings are calculated by taking the total points from a club’s top 10 individual scorers. However, NO team scored more points or had a more impressive weekend than the Highlanders as GWC scored the most overall Team Points with an incredible 772 points! More than 120 points clear of Team Champs. GWC had 74 kids competing and scored 10.43 points per wrestler. Team Champs had 65 kids on the mats and scored 10.00 points per wrestler.

NINE Individual Champions led the way for GWC and 37 wrestlers found a place on the podium with a top six finish. Both of those marks are also new Club RECORDS! Khye Gamas, Jett Morehouse, Colt Knaff, Taden Sundeen, Kennedy Flaten, Collins Flaten, TenLea Sundeen, Taryn Sundeen, and Harlee Vandermars ALL brought home the coveted SKULL by winning an Individual Championship in their respective weight classes. Eight other Highlanders would finish in 2nd place and just short of a tournament title.

That brings an end to the season for the majority of the club. Next weekend; fourteen Highlanders will travel to Rapid City, South Dakota to take part in the prestigous AAU Black Hills Nationals. While 10 Middle School and High School wrestlers from Glasgow will gear up for Team Montana and the AAU National Duals coming up in Mid-April in Des Moines, Iowa.
