Fort Myers Wrestling Club

First full day at Oklahoma State is complete! There are over 300 of the best wrestlers from across the country in this arena, but our 12 Florida kids showed up ready and wrestled incredibly well.
Today we soaked up world-class technique from David Taylor, Wyatt Hendrickson, Jax Forrest, and Landon Robideau.
(Check our Stories for live mat clips!)

We made it to Stillwater! 12 FMWC wrestlers are checked in and ready to work. Camp starts tonight.

GOAL MET! We are officially Oklahoma bound!

Thanks to our incredible wrestling family and community partners, we officially hit our fundraising goal! Because of your generosity, 12 of our dedicated wrestlers are heading to the elite Oklahoma State University summer camp this week.

The season may be over, but the work for a State Championship starts now. We are incredibly proud of everything our Greenwave wrestlers accomplished this year—from our historic LCAC title runs to our recent end-of-year banquet. You can relive the journey in our season yearbooks here:
