On December 3, 534 wrestlers from across our area came to Manchester’s home tournament to put it all out on the mats. With the help of more than 50 volunteers, including 10 referees who are current or former Manchester wrestlers/coaches, the day was a resounding success!

Our varsity wrestlers were a huge help in setting and cleaning up as well. We had more than 32 Manchester youth wrestlers competing, and for nine of them it was their first competition. All did an excellent job! Keep an eye out for another call for volunteers for our next tournament, on February 18, which will have novice, open, girls, and high school brackets.

Thank you to everyone who helped with this event and thank you in advance for signing up to assist with our next tournament!
