Section 9 Well Represented At The Prestigious Invite-Only Event
The Journeymen Classic has quickly become one of the premier preseason high school wrestling tournaments in the US. The event, which requires an invitation for admission, takes place this Sunday, September 29th, at Niskayuna High School. The tournament has even earned the designation of “FloMajor” which means that the winners of some of the weight classes will receive an automatic entry into the FloNationals, perhaps the toughest high school wrestling tournament in the nation.
Several Section 9 wrestlers received invitations to compete at this year’s Classic. SectionIXWrestling.com will take the trip up to the Capital District and will provide updates as soon as possible.
