Over 200 grapplers in grades K-8 will descend on Riverside Middle School on Saturday, March 3rd for a full day of competition in the annual Schweitzer Memorial Wrestling Tournament. Come and watch the fun for a small fee at the door, enjoy delicious food items in our full concession area, and browse tee shirts, hoodies, and lots of other gear from Competitive Edge Wrestling.

Join the action on Sunday, March 4th at Park Street School for a very special event: the Precision Valley Classic ALL-GIRLS Championship. This year's PVC features special guest Erin Clodgo, three-time US Open champ and world-class wrestler. Clodgo was the 2016 Pan American Olympic Games Qualifier Champion and the 2015 Dave Schutlz Memorial International Champion. A native Vermonter, Clodgo will teach a brief clinic to the K-12 girls at the Springfield event, kicking off a full day of intense competition. Girls of all ages from around New England will be coming to test their mettle, and learn from Clodgo. "It's important to have role models," she says, remembering what it was like as a girl wrestler growing up, "it's an honor to actually be one!"

      I am very surprised this useless piece of spam was not deleted (as it should be).

      On a more positive note, Kelly Stettner deserves so many kudos for her determination in getting the wrestling program at Springfield off the mat. She is absolutely tireless.

      Too busy weekends to keep an eye on comments, I guess I better switch to a more strict verification method if it will make you happy. Enjoy!

      I was going to ask earlier, how does a bot get by the verification now? - clicking all the cars, or signs, or etc. Half the time I can't even do it.
