GALT, CA (MPG) - The Galt Warriors wrestling program made its presence felt across two tournaments this past weekend, with the squad splitting up to compete at separate venues and returning home with an impressive medal haul.

While brothers Carson and Caleb McEwen represented the Warriors at the prestigious Cotter Memorial Varsity Tournament at Hiram Johnson High School, the remainder of the boys’ and girls’ teams traveled to Mesa Verde High School for the Maverick Roundup. The strategic split paid dividends, as Galt wrestlers proved they could compete at the highest levels on multiple fronts.

At the Cotter Memorial, Carson McEwen battled through a competitive bracket to claim fourth place, while Caleb McEwen finished fifth in his weight class. The tournament, known for attracting some of the region's top varsity talent, provided valuable experience against elite competition.

Meanwhile, at Mesa Verde, the Warriors put on a dominant display, with every Galt competitor reaching the podium with a third-place finish or better.
