Jan 21 - S.C.S.S.

The St.Clair Wrestling team had a great showing as the home team at the annual Invitational held at St.Clair. The Colts finished 3rd overall out of 33 teams missing first by only 3 points. This was the best result in many years for the team.  Individually, the squad was led by Aaron McMillan who had two gold medals winning both his weight class and the one above. Rookie Noel Sullivan also had a great day winning gold. Andrew Percival also won a gold medal in a weight where St.Clair wrestlers finished 1-2-3. Winning silver were Elijah Wright, Joelle Vanderslagt, and Arlene VanReenen. Winning bronze included Zak Vaillancourt, Mitch Hodgins, Christen Hignett, and Kaung Zaw. Also scoring team points with 4th place finishes were Matt Rankin, Megan Dunn, and Kelsey Prior.

The first ever winner of the "Gold Trophy" was Christen Hignett for her remarkable run all the way through the consolation side to win Bronze. This new award will be presented to a St.Clair wrestler after each tournament to recognize some sort of special performance or result.

We will be having a team bonding night on Saturday January 14th. We will be meeting for dinner and then going to the Sting game. We are NOT wrestling in Windsor that day as previously scheduled. Remember to make sure to get your sponsorship money in before Friday the 13th so your Sting ticket is free. Details on when and where for dinner will be announced at practice. This should be a fun night so try to make plans to attend.

We will be meeting for dinner at 530 pm and then walking/driving over to the Arena for the game for 7pm. Dinner will be at Norm's beside the movie theatre. Tickets for the game will be handed out at dinner. If you can't make dinner, have someone pick up your ticket from me and then you can text them when you arrive to pick up the ticket.

This is a reminder to do your cardio sessions as mentioned at the last camp practice. You are to hook up with one or two of your teammates and do at least 3 interval training sessions during this last week off. Remember that these should not exceed 30 minutes which would include at least 5-10 minutes for your warm-up and warm-down. So, max of 20-25 minutes of intense interval training. Also remember to have your heart rate hit its highest level at least 7-10 times during your intervals and make sure your time slots are shorter for the lower intensity intervals.

The Holiday Camp will run Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 11am until 3pm. We will probably finish before 3 pm each day but we have the gym booked until 3 each day. Please bring a lunch each day as we will be having a break in the middle to eat lunch and relax for a bit. Also bring shower items as you will be given time to shower each day and still be done before 3 pm. Use the doors by the track to enter and exit the school. Bring an extra shirt each day so you can change your shirt each session. Plan to arrive promptly at 11 am each day. On the Friday, we may have an open mat session if there is enough interest. We would need to have at least 10 kids interested in this as we will be rolling up the mats for the rest of the holiday break after this session.

Dec. 17 - Milton

Aaron McMillan was the only St.Clair wrestler to attend the Kris Kringle Classic in Milton. This tournament is a qualifier for the prestigious Stu Hart event to be held this January in British Columbia.
