Hello CWC Parents!
I hope everyone remembered to turn their clocks forward. Despite the loss of an hour we had several wrestlers in action this weekend. The CWC coaches are so proud of the extra work our young wrestlers are putting in. It will all pay off next winter!
Maddox Rogers (K-1 55 pounds) competed in the 2020 Virginia State Rookie Championship in Yorktown and dominated his opponents to claim a spot at the top of the podium. Maddox outscored his opponents 35-9 on his way to his second 1st place finish this year. Maddox also finished 1st at the Regional tournament.
Bronc Jesse (Bantam 65 pounds) competed in the 2020 MAWA District Tournament and battled to a 3rd place finish. After suffering a last second pin in his first match of the day (he was leading in points) Bronc battled back and had to wrestle his 1st match opponent again and returned the favor with a quick pin to claim the 3rd place spot and earn a spot at the MAWA Regional Tournament in April in Salisbury, MD.
Finn Sheehan (3rd-5th 61-68 pounds) traveled to Roanoke to compete in the 3rd Annual Killer Miller Classic and came home with a 3rd place finish! Finn scored an escape and a takedown with 7 seconds to go in the 3rd period to push the match in to overtime and then he solidified his 3rd place finish with a takedown in OT! Great work Finn!!
Our loan State Champion, Owen Townsend, is preparing for a trip to Iowa where he will compete in the National tournament. If you see him be sure to offer him up some encouragement as he prepares for his big day!
I saved the best for last. My favorite part of this weekend was getting to coach our lady CWC wrestlers as they competed in the War of the Roses. Quinn, Fiona, Isla and McKenna represented the CWC proudly as they battled through match after match. Isla took home a 5th place medal, Quinna and McKenna both finished with 3rd place medals and Fiona (an Orange Club native) dominated her bracket for a 1st place finish!! So proud of these ladies and how they wrestled. Can't wait to see them at this tournament next year!
Thank you everyone and we look forward to seeing you at practice tonight or at one of our next sessions. Share what we're doing in C-ville with your friends and family. It's not too late to join the CWC. We're growing something special!!
