A lot to be proud of this week if you are an fan of America's Team.

Army 1-0 in Duals

We were able to provide the boys a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete on the USS Yorktown and the results were awesome as we slipped past Gardner Webb.

Ethan's pin is making the rounds on all the social media channels, and I was very impressed with the efforts we got from Gunnar and Wolfgangster as well.  I'm also thrilled we have guys named Gunnar and Wolfgang on our team.  Sadly, the dual with Citadel had to be cancelled due to slippery conditions in the flight deck.  Overall, still an awesome experience for the program.

Journeymen Round Robin

Yesterday we hit up the Journeymen Collegiate Classic and got a ton of work in.  The format of this event is conducive to providing our staff with a ton of data and since it is November I always view it as a scrimmage in singlets.  Some guys had some nice results.We had overall bracket championships from two plebes at 197- Jackson Van Kley and Reid Schroeder.  Reid provided us all with a signature Army brand win, falling behind 7-0 early to his Arizona State opponent before storming back to win 20-17.  He scored 43 points in his 3 bouts.  Another notable win was plebe Brady Colbert, who took down an NCAA qualifier from Lehigh to lead 3-0 before his opponent had to default.Full results- FLOARENA

Bill Farrell

While the folkstyle season is in full swing, we still got some International action this weekend as two RTC athletes and one cadet came home with 3 medals from the iconic NYAC event.  If you have never been to this event, put it on your bucket list, as the midtown Manhattan venue always draws great competition.Junior Joe Couch was the only American to win his Greco bracket, with 3 solid wins at 60k.  Joe is positioning himself as one of the premier young American Greco wrestlers, under the tutelage of Coach Jessy Williams.  Fabian Gutierrez won Bronze at 55k as well.VRB won her bracket at 55k in dominant fashion as well.The progress we have made as an RTC is remarkable.  My phone was ringing of the hook all weekend from people in all three disciplines looking to come and train at the WPWC.

We shuffle off to Buffalo this weekend for a pair of Sunday duals vs Purdue (10am) and UB (2pm).  We hope to see some of you there.
