For anyone still looking to wrestler, our friends at Great Valley are hosting the regional MAWA tournament on Sunday, March 26th @ the Mall. We've trained them well on how to host a meet (haha) so I am sure this will be a good event. Please see the link for details.

What a year it's been for the Griffins! We finished off the ICWL season with the Open Championships on Saturday. 15 Griffins took the mat, with 7 of them placing. &effort

1st Place: Isaiah Torrance, Rocco Fabri, and Jude Pizzi
2nd Place: Mikayla Dunn and Sean Lamancusa
3rd Place: Kason Cosgriff
4th Place: Evan Fernandes

The Open is a big jump from Novice. All our kids that competed should be proud of their efforts regardless if they placed or not. We have a strong foundation for next season, can't wait to get back on the mats in November. There is no better sport than wrestling to teach life lessons.

Of course we could not have done this without the continued support of our parents and coaches. You all helped make this happen.

Why Your Child Should Wrestle | The School of Wrestling There are a few different reasons why your child should wrestle, however, this reason is the only one you need to help navigate the sport.

We're getting there between GoFundMe and other fundraising activities. We will take some to Nationals, but as of right now not all. This is one final push to get a few more to Nationals. Please direct message me if you would like other options aside from GoFundMe to donate.

Support the WCU Wrestling Club and local business owner and former wrestler Tuesday February 28th for a dine an donate.

Looking forward to sharing more results as I get them, as our kids finish out the season at various tournaments.

After a great end to our regular season on Friday night, we had some Griffins in action on Saturday and Sunday @ some local tournaments:

Haverford True Novice:
1st Place: Brian Stepen, Jude Cocoran, Asher Brown, and Keegan Heffelfinger.

3rd Place: Shane Marabella

4th Place: Sam Stephens, Lachlan Meckler, and Cole Hough

Keystone State Qualifier:

I don't have all the places, but these kids are moving on:

Rocco Fabri, Colin Logue, and Zayne Jones.

6U doesn't advance but Martin Dunn (MJ) took 5th and Mikayla Dunn finished 2nd in her bracket. I heard some other names attended but I didn't get confirmation on the results so my apologies.

It's wonderful to see our kids competing and doing great. Attitude and Effort!

I hope to see more kids in additional tournaments as we come up upon the ICWL championships.
