Highlights Include Appearances at NYS Collegiate Championships and the Grapple at the Garden
In only their second year as a program, SUNY Sullivan’s wrestling program is already started to make some noise! Head Coach Jared Kahmar has released this year’s schedule which includes an appearance at the NYS Collegiate Championships at Cornell University as well as a match at the Grapple at the Garden in Madison Square Garden.
Competing in the NYS Championships will allow SUNY Sullivan wrestlers the opportunity to possibly lock horns with some of the best wrestlers in the county from Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3! This tournament will take place on Sunday, November 23. There will be over a dozen former Section 9 wrestlers entered in this field and www.sectionixwrestling.com will be providing updates on their results throughout the course of the tournament.
The Grapple at the Garden promotes “the world’s greatest sport at the world’s greatest arena!” The Grapple, only in it’s third year, is quickly becoming a sought after tournament from many of the best teams in the nation. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, December 21 and will include D1 powerhouses Cornell, Northern Iowa, Edinboro, Lehigh, and Maryland. Here the SUNY Sullivan Generals will take on Middlesex CC in a dual meet on Mat #5 on Round 1. Also competing at the Grapple at the Garden will be Army (located in Section 9), Hofstra (Cody Ruggirello at 149), and Southern Maine (coached by Middletown grad Joe Pistone). Sectionixwrestling.com will likely be at the event and provide round by round updates on all things Section 9!!!
SUNY Sullivan head wrestling coach Jared Kahmar would like to see a large Section 9 contingent down at the Grapple at the Garden! He has tickets available and anyone interested in attending should contact Coach Kahmar at jkahmar@pjschools.org or (845) 258-0862.
