MN USA Freestyle and Greco State Championships

Jake Nohre placed in all 3 styles this year in the MN USA wrestling state tournaments.  In March Jake finished with 4th place honors, he added to his accomplishments this weekend by taking 4th in freestyle and 6th in greco.

Owen Gruchow was also a double placer taking 5th in freestyle and 4th in greco.  This was Owen's first year wrestling greco and freestyle.  Under the age classifications he was the only first year peewee in his bracket so things should only get better next year!

Hunter Gruchow, who was a double silver medalist last year as a second year peewee, managed only one 4th place medal as a first year bantam.  Hunter took 4th in freestyle and did not place in greco.

I felt the West Central freestyle/greco wrestling club was a great success.  We had 19 wrestlers registered in our club.  West Central wrestling club is now officially a sanctioned club for USA Wrestling.  We hope it continues to expand and grow.  Thanks to Shane Tappe who did a great job running these practices.  Thank You's also go out to Chad Lorenson and Jasper Oyster for coming when they could and making time to help these boys learn the Olympic styles of wrestling.
