My name is Jordan Glykas, I am the Head Wrestling Coach at Dieruff High School in Allentown, PA. We are asking for donations to send 2 of our Wrestlers, Kiovanny Hamlin, and Cristopher Recinos to Nationals in Fargo, ND this coming July.

Kio and Cris both qualified to Represent Team Pennsylvania at their weight classes this past weekend in State College, placing in Both Styles. Cris was 2nd in both Greco Roman and Freestyle, Kio was 2nd in Greco-Roman and 5th in Freestyle.

A little about Kio: He is a current Junior, who only started wrestling as a Freshman. His first year wrestling, he took 2nd at Greco States, and last year he took 3rd in Greco, and 4th in Freestyle. He has had a natural ability in the international styles from the start, and finally feels he is ready to compete at the big stage in Fargo. In folkstyle, he took 4th in the always tough AAA District XI, 5th in the Northeast Region and became our first PIAA State Qualifier in 5 years.

A little about Cris: A current Sophomore, had placed at the District XI Junior High Tournament in 8th grade, and progressed to this year having a 30 win season, taking 4th at the Governor Mifflin Holiday Tournament, and 7th at the Coal Cracker Invitational. Though he hasn't qualified yet for PIAA states himself, he is on the level, and has wins over multiple state qualifiers this past year. Wrestling with Kio every day and working hard, going to clubs has had him jumping levels every month.

Every donation helps, we hope to give these young wrestlers with a ton of potential live out their dream of competing at Fargo for the first time. 100% of the proceeds will go to this trip. All funds will go to the Cost of the trip through PAUSA which includes travel, entry fee, and lodging. The mandatory team gear package. Last but not least training camp.

Big Thank you to LVWRTC, Hurricane Wrestling Club, and Grit Mat Club in their support with developing these athletes.
