“Viking Quest Invitational” 

Location:  Walt Whitman High School, Attn:  Bill Toth, 7100 Whittier Boulevard, Bethesda, MD 20817

Varsity Girls

Hosted by Walt Whitman High School

Dear Coaches:

The Walt Whitman Viking Quest Invitational will take place on Saturday, January 11th 2025.  You and your team are invited to participate in our one day only, Madison weight style tournament for the boys.  We will place wrestlers in groups of 4 that will ensure them 3 matches. 

We are also going to host a girls Varsity tournament on the same day.  This might depend on the number of girls entries and how many girls are in each weight class.  If there is only one girl in a given weight then I will discuss options with that girls coach. (I will discuss this with coaches as the entries are submitted).

 The entry fee for the Tournament will be $325.  The fee will cover most of the event costs including building fees, awards, officials, hospitality room and personnel.  The remaining costs come out of the gate receipts.

WEIGHTS:

The tournament will be run on the Madison weight system for the boys.  We will host a girls only Varsity tournament by weight class for them.   Each coach is required to send me the names and weights of all of their participating wrestlers by Monday, January 6th.  The weigh-ins for the boys will be on the honor system.  We will have to hold official weigh-ins for the girls only at 7:30 AM.  You will need to email me your list of weights.  There will be no moving of wrestlers the day of the tournament.  We will only scratch wrestlers who did not show up.  Send your lists to:   Derek_C_Manon@mcpsmd.org

SCHEDULE:

Please plan on being at Whitman by 7:30 A.M.  We will have a brief coaches meeting and hope to get started by 8:30 A.M.

HOSPITALITY:

A hospitality room will be available for coaches and officials throughout the tournament.  Food and drink will be available on Saturday morning through about 2:00 PM.  Please partake of food, but do not pass on to participants.  

AWARDS: 

A medal will be awarded to the wrestler who wins his/her weight group or weight class.  

ADMISSION:

The admission will be online using the GoFan app.  Please buy tickets in advance on this app.  

SEEDING:

There will be no seeding for this tournament.  It will be a random draw in each weight class.  

I have attached my cell phone number and email below.  Please pass along my cell number to the coach who will be attending and provide their number for me.  In the event of a late team or wrestler that will help me contact the coach faster and to help move the tournament along.

Thank you very much,

Coaches: This is the 4th year PHS is taking on the awesome task of hosting this JV/Girls event. Our hope is that we make this tourney an event our younger and new wrestlers will appreciate and enjoy and a tourney all the coaches and teams will take seriously. Teams all over the state are hurting for numbers on their teams and the biggest reason for that is the lack of emphasis on Junior Varsity programs. Well, southern Maryland teams are trying to positively affect a change at the JV level by hosting JV tourneys....Great Mills, PAX, and Leonardtown are hosting tourneys for our JV wrestlers, PLEASE take advantage of and support these events!  Let us know your interest ASAP! 

We look forward to hearing from you all!

Coach Gino Sita
