Prior to the pandemic, we had consistent strong showings at National Dual Tournaments. Some age groups did better then others, but all area's were respectable. We had a couple years of 14U School boy squads that were contenders for the National Title in Indy. Top 3 finishers in both FS and Greco.
Juniors have always been a challenge, even pre-pandemic. This is for a long list of reasons, many of which directly relate to timeframe and fielding a team while de-conflicting with finals and graduation activities.
Our Fargo medal hauls and results were pretty solid as well.
Then along comes the Plandemic.........We SHUT IT ALL DOWN. Time to freak out in WA, while half the country continue to wrestle.
Post Pandemic FS/Greco Boys........FLAT as hell. WA has not recovered their Pre-pandemic performance levels on the national level in both FS/Greco Boys. Sometimes we don't even send a team, in other cases, the team we send was cobbled together. We are still clawing our way back to pre-plandemic performances.
It only takes a second to blow something up, but it could take years re-building it. We are clearly re-building.
