Hopefully, this will change the numbers of the wrestling programs in the area. In a short span of time, that discussion led to some meetings and the club was born. The idea that became the Team Mat Cat club was thought of as long ago as last year. We thought it would be nice to see our area do better at states and to see the kids do some wrestling in the off-season. We got some information from other clubs and then we contacted people like Chuck, Wayne and Mike Bryan.
Colleges emphasize freestyle to their wrestlers.
This is how you get to the next level. We have high hopes in the coming years, but you have to be in it for the long haul. Registration for the club will take place Sunday, March 18, and Tuesday, March 20, at the Lewistown Middle School. In many cases, wrestlers would give up spring sports because the freestyle clubs are so far away. The kids need to play all kinds of sports and this lets the wrestlers get some summer work in while playing baseball or track.
