I FINALLY FOUND MY PASSWORD!! That's why you haven't heard from the WRock within the last few months. The reset/ lost pw links don't work well (so don't lose your password). With that said....
We invite your team to compete in next season's 9th Veterans Memorial Invitational, hosted by Window Rock HS in Fort Defiance AZ. Tsehootsooi Middle School will host the MS /Jr. High TMS tournament on Thursday, Dec 14, 2023. The high school men and women's tournament will be on Dec 15-16, 2023 in the Beeholdzil Fighting Scouts Events Center. Ten mats with a lot of wrestling. Men will have ten duels in a team duel tournament and the women will have a 32-wrestler bracket, both held over two days.
Last season we had 28 teams, with Farmington NM emerging as the team champs. The women had 25 teams with El Paso TX Hanks HS taking the title. Great wrestling took place and we had a couple pairs of state champs go at it too (Bloomfield NM vs Holbrook on the men's side and Hanks TX vs Miyamura NM for the women). We are looking for 36 teams for the next VMI. Shoot me an email if you are interested as there are already teams taking spots. Mhillis@wrschool.net or mrhillis145@gmail.com
