The Northeast Junior Regional Championships in Brockport, N.Y., has a new addition to its April 3-5 schedule. A Junior Folkstyle Festival will be added to the tournament.
"This gives an opportunity for kids to compete who like Folkstyle and it gives them an opportunity to learn freestyle," Don Murray, Event Director of the Northeast Regional Championships said. "The more people we can bring into wrestling the better off we are. Anytime you engage in athletic competition, you gain experience. Through that, you gain knowledge which makes you become better."
Other changes from last year's tournament include Junior Greco-Roman tournament moving to Friday. Freestyle competitions will be all day Saturday for all divisions (Cadet, Junior and Senior).
"Anytime you can bring more people to enjoy the sport the better it is," Murray said. "Hopefully it will expose them to freestyle as well as Greco-Roman and they will try it.
All competitors must preregister online at www.themat.com by 12 p.m. EST, Wednesday, April 1. Entry fee is $20 for freestyle and Greco-Roman and $15 for folkstyle if registered by the deadline. There is a $10 late fee for late registration.
