Wrestling has been part of the backbone of this country since the birth of our nation. Immigrants brought wrestling traditions to America from around the world, each as varied as their national background. Ultimately, that experience created a collage that is wrestling in the U.S. today. Our youth wrestling programs, camps, high schools, colleges, Olympic teams, and military are steeped in American wrestling tradition 232 years old. TakeDown Radio sends our best wishes and gratitude to our very diverse wrestling community this Fourth of July, our nations glorious birthday.

We also feel it’s the perfect time to announce the beginning of a new tradition we hope will extend for generations into the future. The High School Wrestler of the Month program will identify, recognize, and reward one young athlete from across this great country each month. The program will be administered by TakeDown Radio, and is made possible by several companies that are corporate pillars of the wrestling community. Resilite, Brute adidas, W.I.N. magazine, Intermat, and Sunflower Wrestling Supply embraced an idea, provided unique creativity, and pledged unselfish contributions in order to place greater focus on one of the most important areas of our sport, high school wrestling.

Each month, coaches and parents will submit examples and reasons why their wrestler deserves the award. Recognition in national media, as well as significant prizes will be awarded to The High School Wrestler of the Month. Applications for the program will be provided each month in W.I.N. magazine, as well as PDF versions on the W.I.N. Magazine, TakeDown Radio, and Intermat web sites. The first application will be in the August edition of W.I.N. magazine, for our first award in September.

A full press release will follow our Fourth of July break. Complete details, including official rules and regulations will be provided on the award application.
