As y’all know, I’m a big wrestling guy who fell in love with sport as I made my mark in the journalism field and have been a HUGE advocate and supporter of the recent growth of girls wrestling.
Next week, two young ladies from Wayne will wrestle among some of the nation’s best freestyle wrestlers from all over the US at the Fargo Nationals. This is like the Super Bowl or Stanley Cup of youth wrestling in this country and has been the place where great wrestlers become phenomenal wrestlers. QUALIFYING for Fargo is a beast in and of itself…making it to the medal stand is outstanding and is one of the most intimidating things a wrestler can put on their resume.
I don’t know if Wayne has EVER had a kid qualify for Fargo, but these two young ladies are going to go up and represent us and Nebraska and see how far they can go in this huge tournament. Mikey C Productions is proud to help sponsor Hannah Burris (seated pic) and Essynce Owens-Webb (standing pic), both of whom have shown a passion for this sport and a willingness to do the offseason work that is going to pay HUGE dividends for them when the coming wrestling season approaches.
Essynce has also been selected to represent a national team thanwill compete in Bahria this fall, and we are helping support that effort as well. If you’d like to help out, message me and I can pass that information on to you.
Best of luck to these two next week at Fargo!!!
