Corpus Christi Welcomes Beach Wrestling to the Lone Star State
Corpus Christi, Tx– They say everything is bigger and Texas. And the Texas wrestling community set out to prove that statement true in their first ever beach wrestling event held in the state.
McGee Beach proved to be the prefect setting for USA Texas’ inaugural beach wrestling event, with over eighty participants from six different states taking part. The sand was hot, but the beach wrestling action was even hotter, as wrestlers of all ages competed for the title of Texas Open Champion. Texas USA Vice Chair Jose Delgado commended the event staff and local volunteers on pulling together to produce a top notch event.
The event kicked off on Friday evening with early weigh-ins at the Texas House of Rock. The weather Saturday was outstanding and the competition attracted numerous viewers and spectators throughout the day. The afternoon concluded with live music in the park as well as a post event social. Special thanks to the City of Corpus Christi Sports Commission and the Parks and Recreation department for their outstanding support and assistance with the event.
