CWC Parents,
What a weekend!! I can't express how proud I am of our wrestler's! Here's a quick breakdown of our clubs action and then a few notes as we head into the next week.
Lynchburg Central VA Open
Walter and Russell traveled down to Lynchburg, VA to compete in the Central VA Open on Saturday. Russell had three great matches with several winnable moments, but didn't come out on top. He's anxious to get back on the mat and wrestle a complete match. Walter wrestled in two weight divisions and had eight matches on the day. He won all eight and took home the gold in both brackets! The Lynchburg tournaments offer some great competition that many of our wrestler's would benefit from. I hope to get us out for a tournament in the future.
Virginia Duals
Jameson and Mac traveled to the Hampton Coliseum to compete in the Virginia Duals. This tournament has a great reputation for being a very tough tournament. The UVA College team was also there competing this weekend in the College Division. Coach Jimmy shared that both boy wrestled extremely well and came away with 2nd place finishes. A huge accomplishment! This could also be a great tournament that the CWC sends some more advanced wrestlers to in the future.
Louisa Scramble
We had just over 20 wrestlers attend the Louisa Scramble today!! I was so pleased with the turnout and even more pleased with our wrestlers performance. In my humble opinion the CWC wrestlers proved to be the most dominate club in the gym overall. I could go on for several paragraphs about the hard fought battles and great performances I witnessed and heard about throughout the day. Most importantly, everyone had several matches and it looked like every wrestler walked out of the gym with a smile on their face. Thank you to all the coaches that helped coach at the various competitions we had going on this weekend.
UVA Prematch Showcase
Our next competition is this Saturday, January 18th in the upstairs of Memorial Gym. Our plan is to meet upstairs of Mem Gym at 8:30 am. The Culpeper Cobras and Midlothian Miners will arrive at 9:00 am and we are hoping to start wrestling at 9:30 am. We should have 2-3 matches going at a time and we will have some UVA wrestlers helping us out as referees. Please notate on the Google Spreadsheet whether you plan to attend or not by Wednesday at the latest. I need to communicate our roster to the teams traveling here to wrestle us so they bring wrestlers that match up with the weights we will have in attendance. I am trying to organize matches prior to the event which will be different than what you are used to at the scrambles. It should help us keep matches going smoothly and make the most of our time. At the conclusion of our matches (everyone should get two) we will be providing drinks and pizza for all our wrestlers in attendance. The goal is to eat pizza between 11:55 am - 12:15 pm then watch the UVA Varsity team take on the VMI Keydets at 1:00 pm! Headgear is not required, singlets are not required (but wear them if you have them) and wrestling shoes are not required (but wear them if you have them). Anyone looking for a free pair of used shoes ask about the purple bin at the next practice. We have a plastic bin of used and donated shoes. If they fit and don't smell too bad they're yours!!
Greene County Scramble
Following the UVA Prematch we will be participating in our last scramble of the season at Greene County on Sunday, January 19th at 2:00 pm. Let's plan to be there by 1:30 to warm up. Wrestling should start at 2:00 pm. Many of our wrestlers will compete against kids they have already wrestled, but this is still a great opportunity to get mat time, practice our basics and have a lot of fun! Please notate on the Google spreadsheet whether you plan to attend or not. Shorts and t-shirts are ok (singlets are not required), wrestling shoes if you have them, headgear is not required. I'll have snacks and drinks for the wrestlers. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you there.
Central VA Regional Tournament - Louisa
We have one last match on the schedule for this session. The Central VA Regional Tournament is used as a warm up tournament for the Virginia State tournament for many youth. I would encourage all of our wrestlers to consider being a part of this tournament. It would be a great experience and offer a higher level of competition than they have seen at the scrambles this year. Whether you plan to wrestle at the state tournament or make this your last competition of the season it's a great event to see how you've grown and see what you need to work on moving forward. This tournament is held at the Louisa high school and there is a $10 fee that will be collected the day of the event in cash. There will be more to come on this as I receive information from the tournament director. If you're interested mark the date on your calendar.
