CWO Wrestling Team (2020 Season) – End of Season Announcement

This past week, the last available tournament for our wrestlers to participate in, the Heartland Elementary and Middle School National Duals planned for Easter Weekend in Council Bluffs, was officially cancelled due to the growing concerns of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease. Nebraska USA Wrestling was directed by the national office of USA Wrestling to cancel all USA Wrestling sanctioned events through the end of April.

Knowing that all of our CWO scheduled end-of-season tournaments have been cancelled with only a few hoping to reschedule at a much later date, it is with a heavy heart and a tearful eye that I have to officially cancel the 2020 CWO Wrestling Team Season.

We will be putting a plan together on how to return the singlets and get that information out to all of our parents. We will likely be doing simple drive up / drop off but we need to coordinate all of this with the school and determine when this would be allowed. We will keep you all informed.

As far as the CWO 2020 Freestyle / Greco Season, the start of this training has been postponed until we are given the okay from the USA Wrestling National Office. This will be several weeks from now and could be much later. We are already in touch with Nebraska USA Wrestling and trying to determine if we will need to postpone the NEUSAW Freestyle/Greco State Tournament originally scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd here in Columbus. We will try to get updates out to all of you as we learn more from the National and State offices.

We will still plan on having our summer celebration pool party and also have our Columbus Days Parade float barring any cancellations we can’t control.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
