POSTED: July 23, 2007 - Tournament Results-Wrestle offs

Weaver Elite went undefeated, taking first place at the Battle At The Mountains Dual Team Tournament. It was a great day for Weaver Elite. We wrestled 5 matches against some of the best wrestlers in the area. Our final dual came down to the last match. Our guy came through and we won. Congratulations to all Elite Team members and parents who came and supported us at the tournament. Without you, there's no us. Thanks again. Great job guys.

Wrestle offs will be held again, this week. If you want to challenge for a spot, you must notify us through this website.

PLEASE NOTE: If a current spot holder cannot make it to practice on either day, he will automatically forfeit his spot. It's not fair to the challengers.

Our next tournament will be the Zack Strauss tournament, july. 28th. This is an open tournament, anyone can go.

We will be hosting our own Dual Team tournament on aug. 18th. Parents, we will need your help to pull this off. More information to follow as the date gets closer.
