🚨 Wrestling fans, we've got a season schedule for you! 🚨 Here is our 2024-2025 season schedule for Leopard Wrestling! As you know, this is the first year we have ever had a wrestling team at Malvern School District. Wrestling has become the fastest growing sport in the nation, and it is finally beginning to spread its roots through our local area. We invite you to come to these wrestling meets if you can so you can support our first year team. Many of our opponents have established programs with experienced wrestlers, and we are happy to join with our new team! We are honored to have these Leopards usher in a new era of wrestling. Our first wrestling meet is on December 3rd at Bauxite. This is 5 weeks away as of today! It's a quad, which means we will be one of 4 teams competing, so each wrestler present will get 3 matches at this event. Share this post if you like, and we hope to see you cheering on our first-year wrestlers at an event soon! #MalvernLeopardWrestling #GoLeopards #WrestlingSeason #MalvernPride #WrestlingFamily
