We would like to thank all those who attended our General Membership meeting Saturday in Ellensburg. Our clubs each season come together in August to recap the season and work on putting together the schedule for next season. Here is a short recap.
We would like to thank Tim Weinert (State Chair), Mike Bundy (Cadet Director) and Andrea White (Membership Director) for their years of service and all they were able to accomplish. We’d like to Welcome Jeff Moore as our new State Chair, Chris Feist as our Cadet Director and Paul Swanson as our new Membership Director. Other positions stayed the same.
We will be posting meeting minutes on our website, link to be sent once completed. The schedule for WSWA Events will be posted on our calendar at www.washingtonstatewrestling.com today by noon.
State Leaders meet each season in August from all over the country to discuss upcoming changes for USA Wrestling for the following season. This year there were a few changes that will take place in the 2019-2020 season.

What a season! Thank you to everyone who helped in one way or another. Washington State Wrestling has officially broken into the 5 digits in membership numbers. Very few states have gone over 10,000 members. This summer we brought home 42 All-Americans, 9 Finalists, 3 Champs and a Women's National Team Title in Fargo, ND. Our duals teams were very competitive while wrestling in Indiana, Washington and Oklahoma, as well as Idaho at Western State Championships - Just to name a few highlights!
We invite everyone to join us at our General Membership meeting in Ellensburg at the Hal Holmes Community Center. We will be recapping this past season as well as setting our tournament schedule for the 2019-2020 season. At the meeting, we will also be voting in board members. If you are interested in joining our Washington State Wrestling leadership team, we have a few open positions: State Chairperson, Schoolboy Director, Membership Director, Pairing Director, Cadet Director and Treasurer - All are 2 year positions.
On August 22, 2019 you will be able to begin renewing/purchasing your USAW membership and chartering your clubs for 2019-2020 season.
WSWA would like to thank you all for your dedication and commitment to this great sport, we are looking forward to another fantastic season. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact Justin Newby at jnewbyusa@gmail.com or 360-920-0383.
