The Fort Wrestling Facility

Packed house Monday night.

Thursday we do it again, and Waylon Cressell is running practice.

Runner-up at U20 World Team Trials, Super 32 champ, two-time Indiana state champ, and committed to Northern Iowa.

He's coming home to run our room for a night.

Big Hammers. Thursday, August 13. 8:00-9:30 PM.
Free for members, $20 to drop in. High school and up.

THAT was a great practice Monday night. 🔨

Mats full top to bottom, every group working, nobody taking a rep off. That is exactly what it's supposed to look like in here.
