Two of our athletes, Jake Smith and Jack Bass are in Oklahoma as I type competing at the Junior Duals at Oklahoma City University. You can follow their progress at www.trackwrestling.com<http://www.trackwrestling.com/>. Jake went 4-1 in Greco, and Jack so far is 7-1 in Freestyle, knocking off several past All-Americans.
Jack also competed in the Cadet National Duals in Daytona Beach, Fla, where he again was very successful finishing 6-1 in Freestyle.
Congratulations are in order to several of our freshman and Sophomore wrestlers who made the Wrestling USA underclass All-American list. Below is the link, but on the list were Dallas Smith (Honorable Mention at 112), Jack Bass (#7 at 125), and Jake Pinkston (#13 at Heavyweight).

ReplyDeleteAn update on former Robinson wrestler David Tepper (119 & 125 lbs): David recently was awarded his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In January, he came in first in both the Blue Belt (gi) Division and the Advanced Division (no gi) at a regional grappling tournament (Copa Nova). In May, he came in second in both those divisions at Copa Nova. He'll be attending a wrestling camp in July to keep those skills sharp. And he's preparing for his first MMA match.
