Great day yesterday at Huskerland state. We took 9 wrestlers and had multiple placers, champions and champ of champs. We ended up as Class B runner ups!!! I’m extremely proud of our little team. We don’t have the numbers but we make up for that with Quality!!!!

The Hastings Wrestling Academy K-8 Ladies Team competed today at the 2026 Huskerland State Dual Championships and brought home the Elite Division State Championship!

The ladies were absolutely on fire, finishing the day 4-0 and outscoring their opponents 238-63 in dominant fashion.

A huge shoutout to Oakley Moore, Paiten Einspahr, Peyton Eklund, Bethany Vazquez, Alba Johnson, and Esme Boyer, who all went undefeated on the day.

I couldn’t be more proud of this group. Their work ethic, toughness, and belief in each other showed all day long. The future is very bright for these young ladies.

Congratulations ladies — you earned every bit of it!

After several requests we will resuming boys wrestling classes at HWA. Wednesday and Friday nights from 6:30-8:30pm. This starts today. Cost is $75 a month.
