This kind of success doesn't happen alone. A huge thank you to our generous donors:
Dr. Cesar Escudero, Dr. Howard May, James Pile, Fred Murabito, Partesh Shastri, Scott Cornelius, Jim Doss, and The Burg Family.
Your contributions have made a massive impact — thank you, thank you, thank you!

?? Program Growth:
We now have over 70 kids on our roster — double the size of last year.
OFF-SEASON
Last year: 1 wrestler at Freestyle State ? This year: 15
Last year: 0 at Western Regionals ? This year: 6
Last year: 0 to Fargo ? This year: 6 qualified
With this incredible growth comes some real financial challenges. I’ve personally covered many off-season expenses on my credit card, hoping our November fundraiser — the Junior Wildcat Invitational — will help, but that may take away from our in-season resources.
Just one weekend last season, we had:
18 wrestlers at a Varsity tournament
30 at a Frosh/Soph tournament
6 girls competing
Our Fisher & CTE wrestlers at their league championships
We’re growing fast and we’re doing big things — but we need help keeping up!
