Results from 2019 Sand Tournament

Holland, MI
Some Panthers competed this last weekend at the 2019 Myrmidon Sand Wrestling Tournament held at Matt Urban Sports Complex.  Wrestlers from all over the Midwest gathered to try their luck at competing outdoors. Wrestlers were paired into age groups and blocked weight classes. First to five takedowns won, or highest score within a one three minute period.

They also wrestled for some good cause. Portions of the proceeds went to several charities. Half went to Pinning Down Autism, a charitable organization whose mission is to respond and address the immediate needs of children and their families within our local communities that are affected by autism and to promote education and awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder’s. The other half went to GVSU Veterans History Project, an organization that record and archive oral history interviews and other materials relating to the experiences of military veterans of all eras, as well as of civilians and foreign nationals with stories relating to the American experience in wartime.
