The 39th McGavock Invitational Wrestling will be held December 9th (JV) and December 10th (Varsity). Due to attending other tournaments, it has become necessary to change to a one-day format. NOTE that JV will wrestle on Friday night, Dec. 9th, while VARSITY will wrestle on Saturday. Please, confirm that you are still planning to come to the tournament.
JV: All coaches will need to weigh in the JV wrestlers on Friday morning and send any scratches to Mark Gonyea (email below). There will be no bump-ups. JV is limited to only one wrestler per weight class. Should there be available room, coaches may include an alternate wrestler. Depending on the number of wrestlers, the matches may be run on a 1-2-2 or even 1-1-1 time limit until medal rounds. We want to let as many JV wrestlers get mat time as is possible in the time allotted. The entry fee for JV is $60.
Varsity: Varsity wrestlers will weigh in from 7:00—8:00 A.M.. The matches should begin at 9:00 A.M. and run all day, with time for meals as time permits. The entry fee for Varsity is $150. The five-match rule will be in effect for both Varsity and JV. Please note that due to the one-day nature of the tournament, allowances for taking the ACT exam that morning will not be made.
Friday: JV wrestling will begin at 4:00-4:30 and should be finished at or before 10:00 P.M. Admission is $5 for adults, $1 for children under 12.
Saturday: Varsity weighs in between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning. Wrestling begins at 9:00 and continues until the medal rounds are concluded. Admission is $8 for adults, $1 for children under 12.
It is absolutely imperative that rosters are sent to Mark Gonyea by Tuesday, December 6th, but no later than noon on Wednesday, December 7th. There can be no changes made after this time for the tournament to run smoothly. Mark’s email is gonyeam@rcschools.net . Coach Gonyea will email you your school’s login and password information so you can enter your wrestlers.
