1st Annual Rich Swift Memorial Ironman Wrestling Duals
Newark Memorial High School is proud to host, with the assistance of WrestlingMart and the Newark Rotary Club, the 1st Annual Rich Swift Memorial Ironman Wrestling Duals on Saturday, December 3rd 2016, in Newark, California, which is located 15 miles north of San Jose and 20 miles south of Oakland.
Rich Swift, recently inducted into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame, was an outstanding teacher, coach, athletic director, and wrestling tournament director in Newark for 30+ years who passed away in 2013.
The tournament promises to be an outstanding day of competition. Each team will be guaranteed 5 dual matches. Ten teams will be divided into two groups of five; BLUE and GOLD. Each team will then square off for four duals in a round robin format against each team in their group. For the final round, the best of the BLUE division will go against the best of the GOLD division. The remaining matches will pit the BLUE runner-ups against their respective GOLD Division counterparts.
The first 10 schools to respond will be guaranteed spots. Each year several Ironman participants place in their Section Championships and qualify for the State tournament and 2015 was no different.
The NM Event Center is a GREAT venue for wrestling. The competition will be solid and we will make it an outstanding experience for you, your fans and your team.
