Down to their last opportunity to break into the win column; our Junior ladies ended the week in the Hoosier State on a high note as 𝑲𝒚𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒀𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒌𝒚, 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒍, 𝑬𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒈, and 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒂 𝑬𝒍𝒍𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 all took turns picking up dubs in head-to-head contests to enable NY to topple Arkansas, 38-31!

After just missing All-Tournament distinction in freestyle earlier in the week (5-1); Gregg put the final touches on a 12-1 vitae when she swept all seven of her GR matches!!

Yadlosky and 𝑪𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒐 (both 6-0 in FS) tied the future SHU Pioneer [Gregg] for the team lead in cumulative dubs when their identical 6-1 GR records raised their weekly sums to 12-1!

2026 NYSPHSAA State Champion, 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑻𝒐𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒚, of Tioga, was another bright spot during the back-half of the weekend in Indiana; as her 6-1 record in Greco capped off a 10-3 overall trip!

Women’s freestyle All-Tournament Team announced for 14U, 16U and Junior Divisions at 2026 Women's National Duals WESTFIELD, Indiana – After the conclusion of women’s freestyle action at the 2026 Women’s National Duals, 162 athletes were named to the All-Tournament Team on Thursday at Grand Park Events Center in Westfield, Indiana. The honorees include 47 athletes...

𝙂𝙐𝙄𝙇𝙈𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀 𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙎 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙋 𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝙍𝙐𝙉𝙉𝙀𝙍-𝙐𝙋 𝙏𝙊 𝘾𝘼𝙋 𝙊𝙁 3-0 𝙍𝙀𝘾𝙊𝙍𝘿 𝘿𝙐𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙋𝙊𝙊𝙇-𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙔!

While team triumphs never quite materialized at the onset of day #1 at the USAW Women's 16U National Duals...

The solo feats of 3x NYSPHSAA Finalist/2x Defending State Champion, 𝑨𝒗𝒂 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆, went a long way in providing reason to smile for the Empire faithful!!

Unscored upon (26-0) with all three of her wins coming by way of fall; the nationally-ranked ( #16 by both SI and MatScouts) Shenendehowa rising junior picked up her biggest victory of pool-play when already leading 2-0, she'd go head-hunting and found her target for the 4-point throw that yielded a 1:15 stick of 2026 Prep National runner-up, 𝑨𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏, of Pennsylvania!

One round earlier, she stockpiled four takedowns to establish an 8-0 cushion before launching Minnesota's 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐤 (2x State 6th; 2026 USAW 16U Folk 4th) straight to her back for what would have been a 12-0 superiority dub had the Plains(wo)man not registered a 1:51 fall instead!!

Guilmette (155_ was one of three members of the 16U sorority to go unblemished during the Pool C portion of Wednesday.....

She was joined by 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂 𝑨𝒌𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒊 (Phillips Andover Academy) & Burnt Hills-Scotia-Ballston Spa's 𝑽𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒚𝒆𝒓 (knocked off 2026 PIAA Bronze medalist, 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐢) at 105 and 125 pounds!

𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐆 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐓 '𝟐𝟔 𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐖 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍'𝐒 𝐃𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐒!!

With all three of their rosters (14U, 16U, Juniors) deeply affected by forfeit issues; the morning session on a collective front in Indiana has been rough for the ladies of the Empire....

But individually, Niskayuna-Schenectady departing senior, 𝑬𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒈, has been nothing but a bright spot!!

The 2x NYSPHSAA State Bronze medalist/2026 Double Blatnick Queen/2026 NE Regional JR FS champ [Gregg] has gone 2-0 thus far among her Junior division peers, with both victories coming at the expense of a respective state titlist....

In her opening bout, the Sacred Heart University bound S2 standout fought off of her back early and trailed for the entirety of the match before taking down and putting Alabama's 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 (3x State placer/2x finalist/2026 Champion) in danger en route to securing the fall with just :49 remaining in regulation!

As a follow-up, she turned a then 2-0 lead into a 2:22 stick when she stuffed a shot attempt and then locked up a cradle on a continuation of the sequence to topple 3x Arizona placer/2x titlist, 𝐁𝐫𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥!!!

Gregg (140), along with Windor's 𝑲𝒚𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒀𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒌𝒚 (110; 2026 State 3rd) and 𝑪𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒐 (135; 3x State Placer/2026 Fargo 16U AA) of Bellport are the only Junior women succeeded in getting their arms raised in each of their Pool A appearances!

Yesterday, we proudly awarded the first-ever Jeff Pasinello Scholarship to Tamarac senior wrestler Eddie Miller.

Jeff was more than a wrestler and supporter of our program. He was one of our Tamarac Junior Bengal coaches who helped shaped many of our young athletes in our wrestling family.

This year, our community came together to honor Jeff’s legacy by hosting the inaugural Jeff Pasinello Freestyle & Greco Tournament. Thanks to the incredible support of our wrestlers, Curby Training Center, Tamarac Friends of Wrestling, families, coaches, clubs, volunteers, sponsors, and donors, we were able to fund and award this scholarship for the very first time.

Congratulations to Eddie Miller, a wrestler who exemplifies the hard work, resilience, leadership, and character that Jeff valued so deeply.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this scholarship possible. Together, we are ensuring that Jeff’s impact on the Tamarac and Junior Bengals wrestling communities will continue for years to come. ❤️🤼‍♂️

As of the 2027-2028 season, the premier/elite student-athlete women of the mats will now be afforded the privilege of relishing in the "best of both worlds"....

As of Wednesday afternoon, the freedom is there for creme de la creme to shoot for the stars in both the classroom and the competitive arena!!

Backed by a $10 million dollar endowment to safeguard/ensure the long-term stability of the program; Columbia University announced that women's wrestling will become the 32nd sanctioned NCAA DI varsity sport on campus (the first newly initiated team in close to two decades; Men's & Women's Squash in 2007)!

At the helm of the school's club program 2021, while also serving as the Head Ladies coach for the NYC RTC (recently cornered 𝐀𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐫 to a victory at the Senior WTT Challenge Tournament), 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒍 ( also a Former U.S. National Team staff member) was deservedly selected to be the backbone/inspiration of this new chapter!!!

Despite the fact that the inaugural campaign is still over a year away (as noted above); Randall must have sensed that aura of "movement/growth"; as she has been thriving on the recruiting front during the 2026 cycle!!!

The incoming class featuring the likes of 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒂 𝑮𝒖𝒔𝒇𝒂 (2x NJSIAA State finalist/2025 Champion; 7th at the 2024 UWW U17 World Championships; 3x Pan-American Age-Group Gold Medalist; 2025 Fargo Junior 5th; 2025 Super 32 5th), Italian age-group National Queen, 𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔, & 2026 Canadian U19 National Champion, 𝑬𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒔....

Other prominent future "felines" include:

*𝑻𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒂 𝑩𝒐𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒅---2026 Prep National Bronze Medalist)
*𝒁𝒐𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒔𝒆𝒚---3x Illinois State Placer/2x Bronze; 2026 U.S. Open Girls Showcase 5th
*𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒂---2x Prep National All-American
*𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒉𝒚---3x Florida State placer/2026 Champion

Not overlooked is the fact that CU will also be anchored by a Junior version of NY's own 𝑴𝒊𝒂 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒔....

The former 2x NYSPHSAA Girls State titlist/2023 Fargo 16U Bronze Medalist) out of Ballston Spa was dominant (1 pin, a pair of 10-0 TFs) in seizing the 138-pound brass ring at the 2026 USAW Women's Collegiate Club National Championships as a true freshman!
