What a Way to End a Season!!

To all of our amazing wrestlers, wonderful parents and families and fantastic coaches, THANK YOU!!! What an amazing season we've had - it's because and for you!!

Each and every wrestler who participated in the program this year deserves tremendous credit and should be proud!! Wrestling is one of the most (if not the the hardest) physically and emotionally demanding sports around. We've seen a number of firsts this season - first correctly executed moves, first single legs, first double legs, first pins, first points...you are all champions in our book - you all worked hard and never gave up and kept coming back!! Be proud of your accomplishments this season - in practices and/or in matches, we are!! Nothing worth anything comes without hard work and you all worked hard - wrestling is not easy!

To our parents, you never cease to amaze us with your support - you shuttle your wrestler back n forth to practices - stick it out all day on hard bleachers and when the call for volunteers comes out, you answered the call without question. You are incredible!!

To our volunteer coaching staff - you give up your time on weeknights and for the weekends from November through March, just because it's wrestling season and you love the sport and want to pass on that passion - the amazing talent that the Roswell JR Wrestling Coaching staff has is mind-boggling. We have close to 20 coaches ...they all work well together exchanging ideas and thoughts...

A special thank you to our volunteered Roswell JR Hornet Wrestling Photographer, Rob Rose - who took photos at most all of the open tournaments and duals and captured amazing shots of both the Middle School and Elementary wrestlers throughout the season. Thank you Rob!! We are working on pulling together a photo CD as well as a season recap slide show - Rob's gallery (unedited photos) can also be viewed on Web Shots.

Thank you does not say enough - but, thank you all! It's for the kids - they are great kids and it's because of you and your support of Roswell JR Hornet Wrestling that the program continues...

We would also like to give recognition to our 2012 State Placers:


Cameron Whiteman, Middle School - U14, 260lbs. - 4th Place - Big Kids State


John Cophenhaver, Elementary School - U10, 110lbs. - State Champion - Little Kids State


Christian Cartier, Elementary School - U8, 64lbs. - 4th Place - Little Kids State

Go Roswell JR Hornet Wrestling!!! Thank you to our Roswell JR Hornet Wrestling Family!! You are the best!!

Roswell JRs Stats...

We (errr Karen) are behind on posting JR Stats to the roswellwrestling.com website. We should have them updated this weekend for all of our kids. We don't post stats for beginner's tournaments. However, if you want to view your wrestler's stats you can find them on http://www.trackwrestling.com - enter the name of the tournament that your wrestler attended recently - select the age/weight that your wrestler wrestled and if your wrestler's last name is in blue, you can see all of the event's that your wrestler participated (excluding beginners). Once we get our site updated - you will see your wrestler's statistics from the club for this season for open tourney's without having to go to track. We carry your wrestler's stats as long as your wrestler is in the JR program - even if you leave and return - we'll keep them and pick up when you come back.
