Just wanted to remind everyone one final time that the Warrior RTC @ Indiana Tech starts Sunday... Fort Wayne LEGEND and current Indiana University Wrestling Assistant Coach Riley Lefever will be in attendance at Sunday's 6:00pm practice! Coach Lefever wrestled at Wabash College, where he was a 4x DIII National Champion, team captain and a First Team Academic All-American, and was also a UWW Junior Age Group National Team Member. Lefever then moved to State College, PA where he spent five years training freestyle with the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club under the tutelage of Cael Sanderson. In 2018 Riley earned the bronze medal at the Dave Schultz International Memorial tournament at 92kg and a bronze medal at the Outstanding Ukrainian Tournament. In 2019 he earned third place in the World Team Challenge Tournament. We are hosting our Coaches Summit this Sunday 8/29 4:00pm-6:00pm.

Thanks for the A1 compliment General, but ironically enough my Mom and Dad raised me and my brothers with Country Bob's always stocked in the fridge. I have been fortunate to have been around some very good people, first as an athlete and then as a coach. Extremely grateful for my friendship with Coach Pompei and the opportunity he has given me to coach at Indiana Tech, which allows me to continue to be surrounded by some A-1 individuals. The Indiana Tech student-athletes are arriving back on campus, and there is a lot of buzz amongst the men's and women's wrestling teams about the Warrior RTC. We are all pumped to get in the wrestling facility and get better together. It is going to be a super neat training environment and a unique opportunity for elementary, middle school, and high school athletes to supplement their wrestling training year-round with college athletes and college coaches of one of the very best NAIA wrestling programs in the country. We are excited to be a resource to help athletes of all ages reach their goals both on and off the mat! Coaches Summit & Open House Week is just 2 weeks away! The goal of the Coaches Summit on Sunday August 29 from 4:00pm-6:00pm will be to get our youth, high school, and college coaches together under one roof and discuss how TOGETHER we can enhance the wrestling environment in Fort Wayne and the surrounding area! Open House Week is where athletes, parents, and coaches can come check out the facility and meet the coaches and get a workout in for free. We will get a drill in, show some technique, and wrestle quite a bit of live at the Open House Workouts. The Open House nights will be Sunday 8/29, Monday 8/30, and Wednesday 9/1 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Our Fall Session will officially begin on Sunday, September 5 with a Beginners Group, Elem/MS Elite Group, and HS/College Group.

I have attached the pdf version of the article to this post. Thanks to Dane Fuelling, The Decatur Daily Democrat, and IndianaMat in their efforts to publicize this big news. My family and I are anxious to get moved up to Fort Wayne this month. The Warrior RTC staff is excited to help grow the sport through our unique platform at Indiana Tech. We are really fired up to work alongside the coaches in the area and to be a supplemental training resource to help their kids get better. Big time opportunities coming soon to Fort Wayne and the surrounding area in the sport of wrestling for both boys and girls through the Warrior Regional Training Center! Stay tuned...

2018 Tyce Freije vs Alex Mosconi 2020 Tyce Freije vs Bryer Hall Unfortunately our guy came out on the losing end of those wars. Mosconi was state runner up in 2018, Freije was sidelined the majority of the regular season due to injury that season and then went ahead and wrestled the postseason even though his hand needed surgically repaired. Hall was state runner up in 2020. Freije lost an overtime bout to Kervin at EMD Holiday Classic, and Kervin would go on to win state title over Hall in that exciting match. Tyce won the NC Semi-State at 120 in 2017 and went on to finish 8th in the state, only state qualifying freshman in the weight class. Tyce again won the semi-state in 2019 and went on to finish 4th at state at 138. Bias, but if we were one of the 49 states that has wrestlebacks, then Freije would have likely been a 4x state medalist. That’s how it goes though. It’s a tough tournament, you have to win your matches.
