Twelve members of the Glasgow Wrestling Club spent their weekend in Rapid City, South Dakota at the Black Hills Nationals AAU World Folkstyle Championships. This year’s tournament proved to be very competitive once again with 1,758 wrestlers from 249 clubs across 27 states. The event was moved from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD. to the James Kjerstad Events Center in Rapid to accommodate the tournament’s exponential growth.

The small but mighty Highlander squad showed up and put it on the line; finishing with seven individual placers. The top eight place winners in each weight class earned “AAU All-American Honors”. The team finished win an overall record of 24 wins and 24 losses for an even .500 winning percentage.

On Sunday, GWC officially put a bow on the season with the annual Eugene’s Pizza and Bowling Party hosted at El Cor Del. ALL wrestlers and their families were treated to an afternoon meal and an opportunity to lay some pins down.
