Hi, I’m Justin Braun, Director and Head Youth Coach at Knight Wrestling Club (KWC). Our mission is to grow wrestling in and around Kings Local Schools through year-round development, off-season training, and elite coaching — including Greco and Freestyle instruction from Khetag Pliev, Jim Lehman, Ryan Miller, Andrew Fenton, and Christian Chavez.

Today, we’re asking for your help in supporting two remarkable KWC athletes who have qualified for the 2025 Fargo Nationals — the most competitive high school wrestling tournaments in the country.

Kaiden Patton

Kaiden made KWC history by becoming our first Fargo qualifier, earning his spot in both Freestyle and Greco after:

2nd – Central Regional Championships

3rd – Ohio Freestyle State

2nd – Ohio Greco State

Grace Murrell

Grace just became the first female Fargo qualifier in KWC and Kings Local Schools history, after placing:

3rd – Ohio Freestyle State

These two exceptional athletes are proudly representing KWC, Team Ohio, and Kings Local Schools this July at Fargo Nationals in North Dakota.

Goal: $3,300 Total

We’ve adjusted our goal based on Ohio’s travel and team package costs. All funds raised will go toward:

Travel, lodging, meals, gear, and 4 day training camp with Team Ohio

Kaiden Patton - $1,800 (Both Styles)

Grace Murrell $1,500 (Freestyle)

Total Goal — $3,300

Your donation — big or small — directly helps cover these expenses and ensures that Kaiden and Grace can fully participate in this incredible experience.

Let’s rally behind them and show what our community can do when we come together!
