This past weekend, Manitoba hosted the Provincial Wrestling Championships, showcasing the highest level of competition in years, according to coaches who have been coaching in Manitoba longer than our club has been around.
Several national champions, including world champion Kaura Coles, represented WAMMA NextGen at St. Paulβs High School on Saturday.
This marks NextGenβs third year competing at Provincials, with over half of our athletes earning gold and the title of Provincial Champion.
Congratulations to everyone who competed! A special shoutout to Grant Park High School for achieving the top overall High school team score.
A special shoutout to Delia Thede for pulling off an amazing upset with two wins over veteran wrestler Humeyra Babayigit. Another special mention to 14-year-old Lucio Fagerstrom from Schewa for an outstanding performance in the finals, scoring 20 points on 18-year-old Landon Froese.
Below are the full results from the event.
