Greetings Westview Wrestling Families – Happy New Year everyone!
Recent Results – Way to go wrestlers and coaches on a great performance at the NW Duals! We took 3rd in our pool winning four matches (one by criteria after the a tie). We then took 3rd in the 3rd place pool. A solid performance by our wrestlers. Our coaches are doing a great job of preparing our kids!
