This Week at a Glance:

Both varsity and JV are expected to attend the UCF Holiday Camp. Just because we are out of school does not mean that we are out of season. This is a great chance for young wrestlers to gain invaluable mat time and for our experienced wrestlers to sharpen their skills against some of the best wrestlers in Central Florida.

If your wrestler hasn’t already turned in their $10 for camp registration, please send it with them tomorrow. If your wrestler needs a ride, please let me know and I will either meet them at Hagerty or match them up with a teammate who can transport them.
