FINALLY ... A ONE-STATE ELEMENTARY CHAMPION
Since 2010, it has been RMN Events’ honor and privilege and honor to celebrate a true one-state championship event. We have listened to the Colorado wrestling community who have long desired to have a state tournament, one that exemplifies unity and support, to now crown THREE elementary division state champions, ONE each in Grades K-1, 2-3, & 4-5.
Our goal is to bring the state together and with that in mind, we will work hard to meet the expectations of the wrestling community.
We are proud to announce a qualifying Regional and those that qualify for the Colorado Super State will wrestle FREE!
Team Trophy - Custom-made trophies for 1st-3rd place.
Each Champion will receive a Custom Championship Belt.
2nd-6th place - Custom-made medals.
Elementary finals will be held at the same time as the Middle School State Championships, with an equal production, capturing a memorable weekend that will offer a lasting impression and unforgettable recognition.
We hope you look forward to the Colorado State Championships and enjoy it as much as we do!
Sincerely,
Adam Gutierrez
