Second year Head Coach Joe Heskett had made “Build and Believe” the slogan for Army Wrestling. Well the staff has been doing a great job “building”, the wrestlers are now “believing”, and the NCAA wrestling community is starting to take notice.
Over the past three weeks, Army wrestling has won 4 consecutive dual meets and also finished 1st out of 15 teams at the New York State Collegiate Championships. Their recent dual meet victories were over Columbia 19-15, Drexel 26-12, Brown 24-15, and #25 Harvard 24-17.
The Black Knights return to action this weekend at the All-Academy Championships in Colorado Springs, CO. The event will take place on the campus of the United States Air Force Academy where Army will get a chance to wrestle against fellow service academies Air Force, The Citadel, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, Navy, Norwich and VMI.

I have been getting several requests for information about Youth Wrestling Tournaments. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be too many local events schedued. What I’ve decided to do, however, is provide some information about tournaments that are within a few hours of Section 9. Hopefully, in time, we will see an increase in local youth tournaments. For the time being, you may want to consider entering your future Section 9 wrestlers in tournaments in Section 1 (Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester Counties), NJ, PA, Long Island, Sections 3 and 4 (Central NY), and Section 2 (Albany area). I hope this is of some help to those of you who are interested, and please do not hesitate in sending me any additional information regarding youth wrestling.
