Saturday, December 6, 2015
Slinger, Wisconsin
Middle School Team Wrestling Tournament
Slinger High School, Slinger, Wisconsin
(12-06-15)
This tournament was started because the coaches here at Slinger feel part our job as Middle School Coaches was to get our wrestlers ready for the next level.  Why not give wrestlers the experience of what it's like to compete like the Varsity!
