“I was very pleased with Richmond,” said Panther Club coach CJ Vroman. “We had some first-time wrestlers come out, place, and wrestle like they have been competing all season. We also had kids ‘wrestle up’ in skill level, and (they) still produced points for the team and themselves.”

Cody Rowlette had a great showing. He has never been a wrestler who just goes out and dominates a bracket, but he did there (Richmond), and he showed a lot of growth.”

Randall School 6th-grader, Cody Rowlette (blue) lifts his opponent for a takedown in the 100-pound weight class at the Rocket Open in Richmond.

The team will compete this Saturday (1/18) in the Sussex Sabercats “Tear It Up’ Tournament in Sussex, WI.
