Several Tunkhannock Youth Wrestling Club members took to the mats over the weekend and continued to look impressive.  The highlight of the weekend came on Sunday, as Brian Rosiak and Dalton Ray traveled to Rec. Hall at Penn State University to participate in the Nittany Lion Open.  This tournament showcases some of the best youth wrestlers in the state.  Rosiak made it all the way to the finals and finished with an impressive second place.  Ray wrestled tough on the day as well, winning his first match and coming up just short in his next two.  To top it off, the two young grapplers had the opportunity to meet Olympic Gold Medalist and current PSU Wrestling coach Cael Sanderson.  It was quite a day for these youth wrestlers.

     In other weekend action, six TYWC grapplers went to Montrose for a round robin style tournament and , again came home with great results.  Three wrestlers came home champions including Tommy Traver,  Jake Richards, and Hunter Gregory, with his first career championship finish.  Richards had three pins on the day.  Owen Woods and Dakota Quick each took second place and Jacob Hand brought home a third place finish.

     Finally over the weekend, fifteen wrestlers from the club took to the mats at Lackawanna Trail High School for a round robin tournament.  Three champions were crowned on the day including Owen Woods, Lucas Stage, and Breanna Weidner.  Jacob MacMillan, Tommy Traver, and Sam Rice each took the silver medal, while Jake Richards and Connor Munley brought home the bronze.  Timmy Davenport, Kurtis Christ, and Dakota Quick fought to fourth place finishes.  Wrestling their hardest all day and gaining good mat experience were Hunter Gregory, Jacob Davenport, Brian Christ, and Justin Kozlansky.  Stage, Traver, and Wedner all had an impressive three pins on the day.

     Next up for many of the TYWC grapplers is the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championship qualifying tournament being held at Tunkhannock High School on February 28.  Wrestling will begin at 9am.
