1998 Maryland Fall Open
by Ron McAdoo
On Sunday November 8th, the 1998 Maryland Fall Classic was held at Damascus High School in Damascus, Maryland. It was obvious by the great turnout that the wrestling season was right around the corner. There were 260 wrestlers in four divisions: Kids (70), Cadet (44), High School (120) and Open (26). Once again, the hard work of the MSWA volunteers and the fine people of Damascus helped make this tournament run smoothly and efficiently. Six mats were used with two in the auxilary gym being used almost exclusively for the kids division. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a fun day.
There were some really tough weight classes, especially in the high school division, with numerous state champions and placewinners scattered throughout. Nine of the high school weight classes and one in the cadet division had ten or more wrestlers. Some of the placewinners in these weight classes had to compete as many as seven times during this one day tournament. It was a long, hard day but everyone had a good time whether it was competing or watching some of the top notch competition. The Maryland Wrestler wishes to congratulate the champions, the placewinners and all competitors for their hard work and dedication to the sport.
