Redmond Wrestling

Freestyle Season is here!

We have started practicing the Olympic styles of wrestling on Mondays and Wednesdays. There are a number of competitions spread around the state that our team can take advantage of.  Practices run from 6-7:30 and there is no charge for participation.  Above is a video of Olympic gold medalist Brandon Slay at the 2000 Olympics.  He is going to be the featured clinician at our Team Camp this summer so I thought I'd give a little preview. 

There is No Finish Line

Congratulations to our four state placers: Taylor Johnson, 1st; Sean Soliz, 3rd; Ryan Haney, 3rd; Nick Coles, 7th.  While our 2008-2009 season has reached its end, we always try and keep things inperspective.  Our goal for each wrestler when they enter our program is to become a state placer.  While most wrestlers never reach this goal, we feel the dedication, commitment and hard work needed to attempt this feat is reward in and of itself.  By the same token, we hope that those that are able to win a state championship or earn a placing at the state tournament, gain more from that experience than simply their name on a banner, or medals around their necks.  We hope that they will continue their learning process and take what they have learned about teamwork, dedication, commitment and integrity and apply it to their lives outside of wrestling.
