2013 Year in Review

2013 was a great year for Bullet Wrestling.  Missing from the list below are the personal stories of friendship, determination, and courage.  The stories of how victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat or sometimes visa versa.  Watching Bullet Wrestlers do the unexpected is always thrilling. Unfortunately, some of these stories don't always make it beyond the locker room.  Regardless, the list is still long and replete with accomplishment.  The program has much to be proud of.

  • Added almost 300 new fans to our Bullet Wrestling Facebook page.
  • Coach Oswald joins Bullet Wrestling from Oley.
  • 6 Berks County medalists including two champions. Bullets earn 5th place in team standings.
  • Gimbor wins Counties as a freshman.
  • Sam turned 36 yrs old again.
  • Coach Lovello celebrated his 500th win at Twin Valley.
  • Mackie continues to thrill us with the big moves and pins.
  • Over 50 alumni return to celebrate 50 years of Bullet Wrestling.
  • Mauer snubs Renda.
  • Wrestling voted out of the Olympics.
  • 7 wrestlers qualify for Districts.
  • Mackie, Renda and Schmeck qualify for Regionals.
  • The two seniors qualify for States.
  • 2 State medalists 
  • 1 State champion
  • Lovello inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame.
  • Wrestling voted back into Olympics.
  • 300 boxes of blueberries sold to fund another year of Strength Training and MS singlets.
  • Coach Oswald leaves Bullet Wrestling for head coach position at Daniel Boone
  • @Bullet Wrestling Tweets started appearing
  • Schmeck and Conrad take Gold at the Bullet Invitational.  4 others earn medals.
  • Fenstermacher and Caskie take Gold at Governor Mifflin JV tourney.
  • 5 Medalists at the Governor Mifflin Holiday Tournament.

Bullet Wrestling has great momentum heading into 2014.  This year we had two Bullet Invitational Champions...same as previous year.  This year we had 5 medalists at the Governor Mifflin Tournament, one more than last year.  Last year we had 6 Bullet Wrestlers earn medals at Counties.  What can happen this year?  Can Gimbor repeat as a County champion?  Can we bring home 6 medals?

Sure 2013 was a great year but what are the possibilities for 2014?
