SportStars INSIDER, Al Fontes provides a California Wrestling Roundup of regional wrestlers making their names known on the international stage.
Intro by theopenmat.com
We officially ring in the start of the 2019 high school season with perhaps the season’s biggest tournament. More than 1,000 high school wrestlers will head to Greensboro, North Carolina, this weekend for Super 32, one of the crown jewels of high school wrestling.
The field is always one of, if not the deepest in the nation, and this year is no different. We’ve got north of 100 ranked wrestlers ready to descend upon the Greensboro Coliseum in hopes of leaving with a title belt.
