Team MYWA Captures Crown at the Jersey Shore.

Several of Michigan's Top Elementary and Middle School Wrestlers teamed up to capture this summer's NHSCA Jersey Shore Duals Tournament on August 8th at Long Branch High School in New Jersey.

MYWA Middle School and Elementary National Dual Team Director Ritch Roberts pulled together outstanding lineups and terrific parent support as Michigan National Team members took the 12 hour journey to a very nice beachside community for the event.

Coach Roberts commented on the fact that anytime you can travel into an area with the level of competition that you get in states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania and come away with the Championship hardware it is a real good indicator of how are program stacks up.

Team MYWA knocked off Jersey Triumph and Team SEPA in both Elementary and Middle School Division to earn the Championship Crown.

Coach Roberts pointed out that some of the wrestlers in the Jersey Duals lineup will be moving up to the high school level and several will return for the upcoming Fall and Pre-season events and several more opportunities will come as the NUWAY National Organization will be conducting a Michigan Qualifier for ages 12 & under - 10 & under - 8 & under Dual Teams for the NUWAY National Duals to be held in Ohio in early February. Weight's will need to be filled for the Team MYWA rosters, the Michigan Qualifier will be held on December 19th at Michigan State IM West Building next to the MSU Spartan Stadium.  

Other Team events for combined Club and All-Star Teams in December include the Top Hat Duals and the Border Wars All-Star Xmas Duals on December 27th at Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek, Michigan.
