Congratulations to Frank Martinez for phenomenal (5) point throw in the very first match of the freestyle session on Saturday against Kade Snider of PSOT. The referees do not give out very many five point scores, so this was quite an honor to receive. Great job Frank!

The next tournament will be the Rocky Ford Freestyle Classic, in Rocky Ford, Colorado on Friday, April 13, 2012 (Greco-Roman) and Saturday April 14, 2012 (Freestyle). This is Colorado’s oldest running freestyle tournament and is sure to be alot of fun! For more information about this tournament, click here for the tournament flyer. Information and details for this tournament will also be discussed after practice on Monday, April 9, 2012 and again on Thursday, April 12, 2012. Hope to see you there!

Hope everyone has a great week!
