FINALLY ... A ONE-STATE MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAMPION
Since 2010, it has been RMN Events’ honor and privilege to celebrate a true one-state championship event. We have listened to the Colorado wrestling community who have long desired to have a state tournament, one that exemplifies unity and support, to now crown ONE combined middle school state champion for Grades 6, 7, & 8.
Our goal is to bring the state together and with that in mind, we will work hard to meet the expectations of the wrestling community.
We are proud to announce a qualifying Regional and those that qualify for the Colorado Super State will wrestle FREE!
Each Champion will receive a Custom Championship Belt.
Elementary finals will be held at the same time as the Middle School State Championships, with an equal production, capturing a memorable weekend that will offer a lasting impression and unforgettable recognition.
We hope you look forward to the Colorado State Championships and enjoy it as much as we do!
Sincerely,
Adam Gutierrez
