We want to take a minute to recognize Tony Smith, a senior this year and someone a lot of our younger wrestlers have looked up to, whether they realize it or not.

You didn’t see Tony on the mat this club season because of injuries, but he’s still been part of this room. And that matters. The younger kids see who sticks around, who supports, who’s been through it.

Tony’s roots in this club run deep. His grandfather, Coach Art Osborn, built Marathon Wrestling Club and kept it going all these years. What we have today is because of him and what we’re trying to keep going is for him, too. This club has always been family-led. Jewel carried this club for years as president and made sure she was there to see Tony through his senior year before passing the torch. And with Tony’s dad, Coach Smith, leading as head coach… this program is built on family, and built to last.

Tony grew up in this room. 13 years in the sport, starting at 4 years old with his grandpa. That kind of time adds up.. not just in wins or matches, but in how you carry yourself. The younger wrestlers are watching that, even when you don’t think they are.

Marathon is proud of you, Tony. Thanks for being someone the next group can look up to. Excited to see what’s next for you after graduation. 💚💛

State 2026 is done.

Really proud of this group. A lot of long days, tough brackets, and kids figuring things out in real time. That’s what this state week was.

Big one — Sobina Clendaniel and Denali Klein went 3 for 3… Folkstyle, Greco, and Freestyle. Triple Crown winners. Just consistent, solid wrestling all the way through. And a first for our club - Denali is our first ever 10U Triple Crown Champion. Pretty cool moment to be part of.

We had champs, placers, and a bunch of kids who took some hard matches and kept going. That stuff matters just as much. We are so proud of this team!

State this week 👊🏻

The work’s done now it shows. No shortcuts out there, the circle always tells the truth.

Wrestlers are ready to compete and see where they stack up. Send good vibes their way.

Reminder: all wrestlers traveling with the team need to have their forms signed by a parent and turned in tomorrow at practice. Don’t show up without them.
