Elmira Lady Express Wrestling

Today, Atlantis Cherry made history by becoming the first ever wrestler in our program to continue her wrestling career at the collegiate level.

Throughout the last few years of dedication, sacrifice, and hard work she has not only achieved her own goals but has helped show what is possible for the next generation of girls.

Her impact goes far beyond wins and losses. She inspired her teammates, younger wrestlers, and every girl who dreams of stepping onto the mat. By breaking barriers and setting a new standard, she has paved the way for future female wrestles in our program. She has proven that there are no limits to what can be accomplished through perseverance and belief in yourself.

We couldn’t be more proud of everything she has achieved and the legacy she leaves behind. This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter and we cannot wait to watch her continue to succeed at the next level.

Congratulations Atlantis and good luck at Buffalo State. We are proud to call you one of our own🤼‍♀️❤️🖤

Reminder:

Offseason practices start tomorrow! Bring a friend!!

Offseason begins next week, March 11th and will run all summer long! Perfect time to try something new, get stronger, and be part of an amazing team! Anyone regardless of age or experience is welcome!!

Some Updates going into offseason.

1. I have resigned my position as head coach. The plan as of now seems to be to have Emily take over for next season. What will be a defining moment for the program in the future will be the day she took over as there isn’t a better person to build and lead a program moving forward with her background. The opportunity to have Emily with her background lead the program is a great day for Elmira Express sports. Also further proof that there is opportunities for females in the sport of wrestling that go beyond just wrestling. The values you obtain during wrestling help to create great leaders and seeing more and more women continue to give back to the sport is a wonderful thing.

2. Remember offseason starts March 11th. Get into the room and continue the path towards greatness. There will be plenty of offseason opportunities to wrestle starting this weekend at NYWAYS and continuing throughout the summer.

3. There will be an end of year sports banquet sometime most likely in June. Beon the lookout for that.

4. Continue to sell the spots of the fundraising card that was given to everyone when you picked up your clothing orders. This will hopefully help offset some costs for families going forward for things like offseason and possibly help with future in season travel as well.
