Happy New Year! Over the course of winter break our team had the opportunity to train with several other central Florida teams alongside UCF Wrestling at the Southeast Regional Training Center in Winter Park. Those wrestlers who came to the camp got some great instruction along with some intense matches. All in all, those wrestlers wrestled over 20 matches and gained some valuable mat time.
