CEWC WOMEN'S WRESTLING PROGRAM

Girls wrestling is currently the fastest growing sport in the nation. Here at CEWC we have excelled at training successful female wrestlers.

Our Elite Lady Wrestlers are split up by skill level and follow the same practice schedule as the boys.

WE ARE A TEAM

A while back we were fully prepared to separate girls and boys practices, until...

We asked our female CEWC wrestlers if they wanted a separate girls only practice.

Every single girl that we asked answered "NO".

The explanation most of them had was... "BECAUSE WE ARE A TEAM!."

We do have girls that prefer to wrestle only other girls, and girls that prefer to wrestle both. To which we accommodate and give everyone the training they need!

Here are some examples of how CEWC is the ELITE when it comes to women's wrestling:

A WOMAN COACHING YOUNG WOMEN...

Coach Samantha Withrow as a coach for the 2023/24 County & Conference Champion team, Northwoods Park Middle School, is seen here coaching young lady who went out and wrestled her first match ever, and won.

Then the girl that went after her got the fastest pin of the night, and it was against a boy!

It was such an amazing sight to see and made us all proud of how far women's wrestling has come. This is just one example out of so many. Keep reading to learn more about the upper level coaching of Coach Sam.

Coach Sam is a valuable asset to our club and women's wrestling as a whole. She continues to prove, time and time again, that her mentorship and bond with female wrestlers far surpasses what any male coach could achieve.

CEWC Coach Tom Geist, as the head coach of Northwoods Park MS, with his Lady Dolphin Wrestlers from 2022/23.

All of them had 1 year or less of experience going into the season and they accumulated a combined record of 21-8, with almost all those matches against boys!

This photo also includes the very first female county champion in OCS middle school history, Makayla Clark, who was in the 195 lb weight class.

CEWC now implements a policy based on Coach Geist's ethical guidelines he used while coaching at the middle school. This policy and guideline has proven to protect and empower female wrestlers, while providing them the best training possible in a safe and welcoming environment.
