The Longhorn Wrestling club is designed to help grow both the skill level and knowledge of not only advanced wrestlers, but novice wrestlers too. The club offers a competitive and a non competitive membership for any skill level. The wrestling team allows for students to have a place where they can be themselves while getting a tough but energetic workout. Wrestling is a winter sport lasting from the start of November and ending at the beginning of March. We travel all throughout Texas and surrounding states to compete at various tournaments.
The Longhorn Wrestling club consists of roughly 30 wrestlers, and we continue to recruit and grow at a steady pace. Growing the sport in Texas can help advance competition, giving us a better opportunity to win when it comes to Nationals. Last year we took 8 wrestlers to the National tournament and ended with 2 All-Americans. We hope to bring a full team this year, 11 wrestlers, by winning the conference tournament, with at least half of the team returning as All-Americans.
Although wrestling is one of the cheaper sports, we still encounter many expenses along the way. With many novice wrestlers on the team, the issuance of mandatory equipment such as wrestling shoes, head gear and wrist tape start to add up quick. Traveling across the state, our traveling expenses can be quite immense at times, donations can help us afford hotels for our travels. Some of our more expensive items such as our singlets and the wrestling mats have a longer viable lifetime, but with wear and tear these items need to be replenished once every couple of years and ours are coming up on that mark. Any donation no matter the size is a great contribution and we appreciate any and all helping hands!
