Both East and West Coast Host First Events of the ’24 Season
Beach Wrestling is BACK, as the 2024 season kicked off Saturday with the 2nd Annual Atlantic Beach Championships in Atlantic Beach, NC. The event drew competitors from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, and featured a spectacular day of perfect weather and great beach wrestling action. First time participants were well represented, but there were also some “celebrity” sightings, including 2023 U17 World Champion Kennedie Snow, and 2023 World Team Member Jamel Johnson. Full results can be found HERE.
Coach Harrison Smith of Undertow Wrestling Club said he was thrilled with the increased turnout and is already planing year three for the last week of March again next season.
