NORWICH – Norwich’s junior wrestling program recently completed a 15-tournament season winning dozens of medals and trophies amongst its large group.

Led by Tim Scheer the past two seasons and assisted by Dan Jennings and Kevin Slater, 102 youths signed up for the team, and 55 kids ended up participating regularly. “To have that many kids is spectacular,” Scheer said. “It is one of the toughest sports for any kid, not to mention we are dealing with 5- through 12-year-olds. This year we had a lot of first-year wrestlers as well as many veteran wrestlers that went to many tourneys. Some fared well and some did not, but they did not get discouraged, which is the key to any program’s success.”
