Jack and Owen have qualified for the MAWA Regional Tournament every year they’ve entered. That’s four years for Jack and three for Owen.

The summer of sports continues….this week was 8 hours/daily of wrestling camp at Redhawk. Jack attended last year, but this was Owen’s first year and he did great (you’ll see him volunteering to demonstrate a move in one of the photos.) A few photos are here.
