The Guelph Open

The Guelph Open was held on Sunday January 19 at Guelph University in Guelph, Ontario. The tournament is traditionally a strong one as it is the only carding tournament to be held on this side of the country. Athletes looking for funding will need results from the carding tournament as well as the International stage as they look for funding to help with their training and studies. The Montreal Wrestling Club NTC was the only Quebec Club in attendance. The results were the following:

Montreal Wrestling Club NTC
Name Weight Final Placement
Jason Luneau FS 65 kg Gold Medal
Mohamed Hozayen FS 74 kg Gold Medal
