Wildcat Family Wrestling Update #2

Greetings Westview Wrestling Families –

It was a great tourney at Sumner for our team, they took 2nd place overall! An excellent start to our season with many wrestlers showing some great growth with off season work! I am very proud of the turnout of families for the long road trip. Our families, along with all of the JV and Freshman teams, made for a loud and excited crowd! I know the wrestlers had a great time on the trip.

Distribution List
– I have updated the distribution list for our Wildcat Wrestling families. If you need to have an address added, adjusted or deleted please let me know. We are probably missing a number of families on our distribution list. If you know of anyone that needs to be added, be sure to have them email me to get added. If anyone needs to get a message out to the team, please send to me and I will include it in the weekly update.
