2 schools 43 minutes apart, not sure that really makes it convenient for the entire state. Ever thought about doing one on the eastern side and one on the western side and maybe reach more wrestlers.

jw The other northern panhandle wrestling college just had one in your area. When does southern wv see some love? If they named it Southern Hilltoppers Intensive Training they sure couldn't use the acronym.

I am glad wv college coaches care enough to put on camps and clinics anywhere in the state. Wasn't that long ago that none of the college coaches seemed to care about you if your area code was 304. Thanks to these coaches for improving wv wrestling

Why not? I do not understand. Please elaborate lol

While southeastern WV lacks any colleges with wrestling programs to do this. I expect some border colleges in VA and NC will soon get the idea to try and start pulling some of those boys across the state line. Bluefield College is starting a program, Southern Virginia U and VMI are close enough to be interested in some of those boys too.

I'm all for doing this program or camp/clinic anywhere in the state of WV. My information is listed on the front page and I have listed it below, please contact me to get something set up in the future. Theses types of camps/clinics are conducted by coaches reaching out to me.
