Matbirds Compete at Pomeroy

POMEROY-The wrestling tournament held in Pomeroy on Saturday, March 25, was successful on many levels. There was fantastic club support from the families, excellent sportsmanship from the wrestlers, and team empathy and support during a medical emergency. Best of all, the kids had a blast competing.

Lydia Mertens placed second, and Ian Mertens, Wyatt Parrish, and Calvin James each placed third in the tournament. The Matbirds wrestlers showed improved techniques and growth.

The Matbirds will have a tournament in Spokane the weekend of April 1 and finish their season on April 8 at the Jason Crawford tournament at the Spokane Veterans Arena.
