Springtown High School junior wrestler Dominic Contreras will represent his school and community on one of the biggest stages in amateur wrestling when he travels to Fargo, North Dakota, in July to compete in the U.S. Marine Corps 16U National Championships.
Known throughout the wrestling community simply as "Fargo," the prestigious event will be held July 9-18 at the Fargodome and features the nation's top wrestlers competing in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. Very few athletes earn the opportunity to compete at the national tournament, making Contreras' qualification a significant achievement.
Contreras is scheduled to leave for Fargo on July 8 and will compete in the 16U 150-pound division against some of the best wrestlers in the country.
