TIFFIN DRAGONS TO HOST 1ST ANNUAL SHARK BAIT DUALS

Border Wars Wrestling is pleased to partner with Tiffin University Head Coach Doug Jesse for the First
Annual Shark Bait Duals Camp on July 10th & 11th at Tiffin University Ohio. This event is to help draw folks
to the Tiffin Campus and looks help add future growth to the program. The Dragons will compete in it’s first
year as an NCAA Varsity Program in Division 2 this year and wanted to offer something special to make
people aware of the wrestling opportunities for every caliber of athlete centered on a small beautiful mid west
campus.

 

Tiffin Wrestling Staff along with Ohio State Head Coach Tom Ryan will conduct Training Sessions on
Saturday at the Tiffin Wrestling Room and the Teams will compete in Round Robin Duals for about 6 Matches
each to finish off a weekend of great wrestling.  Border Wars Duals Director Rob Stehley with the support of
Mat Sharks Club Coach Travis Traxler brainstormed the idea as a way to  help connect good wrestlers that
have not yet decided what direction they want to go after High School and provide a reason to get them on a
College Wrestling Campus in front of College Coaches to for an incentive to those kids thinking how to pursue
education and competition after high school. We are taking a strong approach in getting wrestlers on College
campuses, there are a number of Border Wars events coming up over Summer and Fall that provides that
opportunity and we feel that it’s our way to make a connect the young Wrestling families and College Coaches.

 

Several of the Teams entered for Shark Bait have competed in Border Wars Duals already this Summer and
there have been a lot of good connections made, Stehley says just about every College Coach in Michigan at
all levels made it over to the Midwest Grand Challenge in May at MSU and I have heard that several guy’s
have had a lot of communication with Coaches & Wrestlers off that event. Our Big Summer finale is coming
up with 30 Teams from New York to California will be arriving for the Grand River Rumble taking place at Battle
Creek’s Kellogg Arena.  There are a few spots open so interested Teams should
email soon to: rstehley@hotmail.com
