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!
