The Island Trees Youth Wrestling Team was started four years ago and has grown every year. The year began with over 60 wrestlers aged 5 to 13. While this year had many new members, wrestlers returning every year is further evidence of the success of the program. The team’s success can be attributed to the dedication of the coaching staff, the support of Coach Garcia and the Island Trees High School and Middle School Wrestling team and staff, and of course the dedication of the wrestlers themselves. As the team continues to grow, the future of Island Trees Wrestling looks to be a bright one.
