Former Kelly Ward's Champion Wrestling Camp athletes have gone on to great things.

The world's oldest and greatest sport has a time honored tradition of paying it forward as generation after generation of champion wrestler passes on what was once passed to them and evolved to make their own. We are very fortunate to have former campers come back to teach as clinicians from time to time. What worked then, works now and will into the future. We honor our Hall of Famers celebrating their success and the hard work, sacrifice and dedication taking no short cuts to become Champions on the mat and in life beyond.

Who will be NEXT? Will we see YOUR name here below someday?
