Very pleased to announce the Minnesota Storm Holiday Cup to be held at the RCTC Field House this December!

The Holiday Cup will feature Senior Greco-Roman, Men's Freestyle, and Women's Freestyle, and will be ran in conjunction with the Minnesota Christmas Tournament, in two separate facilities at RCTC Field House.

What a great venue USA Wrestling has to get a senior level trny aside a MN Historical wrestling tournament. Gives a chance to let kids see they can still train later in life for high level quality world class wrestling. MN is way over due for a gig like this. It will take a few years but I see other countries coming in groves. MN Storm's history, International Airport and a packed house of fans. I like this recipe!
Next to impossible in the past when talking with USA Wrestling on getting a trny here on its own.( refs/winter). Thank you Christmas trny clan , Semwrec and few others that chipped away at it.
Already got fellas in the lean2 sharponing the swords

Any way I can pay off any one to get Greco on Friday next year??? (CASH) :)
I have to coach H.S. wrestling and I as you know coach Greco in the LEAN2. I will be sending a group but no Unit in the corner.

I can do community services as well for part of the under the table switch.
Last time I recall world level wrestling in Rochester was in the 1990's at the MCC. Maybe some one can help me the year. World trials, 1994? I helped host the Social and it was awesome to have the visit as most all of the wrestlers I traveled with for several years sat in my house/deck sharing stories and some crazy laughs.
I again look forward to visiting this family again. I'm very excited for the wrestling community not just here in MN but on a Global level.
This will be an international event in short order and Unit has used the planet as a play ground. Time to call up some old friends.

Very proud to be a MN/USA Storm Coach, past Athlete, Supporter and Storm family member!

Had a lung burner of a practice last night to let the boys know How happy I was Greconation will be visiting Unit's back yard!!! OHyaaaaa, Time to CHA! CHA! Baby!

Time to Marinate!




NOW BLOW THE WHISTLE!

Unit,
one of the reasons for the Saturday greco is that the entire USOEC is coming down for this event- NMU has finals that week, and most of the guys still have exams throughout Thursday, so they need to travel friday- if they ALL come, that could be up to 38 guys or so - not saying this was the only reason- another was that, the event itself will have many of the Gopher wrestlers working at it, and this gives them a chance to compete on Friday as most of them are freestylers, then they will be done competing and can work the tournament the rest of the way-

Yes, it's a possibility that in the future it will be switched- guess it depends on the dates staying the same, etc-

I'm excited for this event ! It's going to be AWESOME :P

Who would think go over a "over the top wrist" elbow drag to a hip lock greco style practice would be a hour
What a intense beautiful practice. Of course we warmed up for 40 minutes before hand
Just love late nite LEAN2 visits.
Any one have Greco on the brain?

Had a call from a coach in Canada. Asking about the Storm Cup. He was hoping to bring a high school team for a freestyle dual meet. Had to fill him in on what we had laid out and gave him the proper contact number.
Question, in Canada is Freestyle there H.S. style?
I would love to get a team together for the challenge just the wrong time of year.

We are looking for a few volunteers to run a camera mat side. No better seat in the house.
I would be there but i have to coach H.S. Varsity at the Harmony Holiday trny in Harmony.
Trying to adjust my day on Friday to sit at a mat to help out.
Any one want to help me on Friday??
just push play and sit right up and close.
To host this level of a trny each mat must have a replay option to review a call if a coach protest by throwing in a red foam brick.

GRECO: not all signed up yet, but many of the guys from the USOEC program at NMU will be coming-

This was a very successful Greco trny. High quality and a high level of wrestling for the first Storm Run.
Now we need USA to bless us for it.
