Congratulations to Ronald Tucker on winning the Heavyweight Title this past weekend at the Tulsa Nationals Championship. Ronald went 4-0 and won 1-0 in the Finals. Dylan Burnoski lost 7-5 in the semi finals, but battled back to take 2nd place honors. Javen Estrada also lost a close match in the semi finals and took 4th place. Baylor Fernandes wrestled tough all weekend and made it to the podium by winning his 5th place match by pinning his opponent. Many of our kids were a match or two from making the medal round, and wrestled extremely tough. This tournament is labeled the “The Toughest Tournament in the World” for kids wrestling and lived up to hype. The number of wrestlers were the highest in 12 years and all brackets were loaded with State & National Champions. I’m very proud of the boys, we are at the half way point and now look to prepare for the State Tournament.
