Three All Americans

Bedford Wrestling would like to congratulate three incredible wrestlers who achieved not only state dominance this year but NATIONAL prominence. Logan Rimmer, Bryan Smith, and Mitchel Rogaliner all competed in national tournaments and achieved All American Status.

Mitchel Rogaliner - Mitchel competed in the USA FolkStyle Nationals and notched an impressive 4th place among the best of the best in high school wrestling. This junior is not only a two-time state champ for the Mules, he is force to be reckoned with nationwide as he enters his senior year.

Bryan Smith - Smith attended NHSCA Senior Nationals in Virginia Beach. First and second place state finishers are invited to compete but Bryan was given a wild card spot as a result of his amazing year. Smith proved that his speed, strength, and athleticism are fearsome on the national level. He placed 7th in the 220 pound division.

Logan Rimmer - Logan also attended NHSCA Senior Nationals and came extremely close to winning the whole thing! He placed fourth and gave every opponent he faced a tough as heck match. Logan struck fear in the hearts of the biggest guys in the country and emerged as one of the toughest among them.

This is the FIRST TIME in Bedford Wrestling history that three wrestlers achieved All American status in the same year. It is an incredible accomplishment for each and it speaks to the quality of the entire program. GREAT JOB Mitchel, Bryan, and Logan.

Nate Schneider

By admin | Mules in the News

: Congratulations Nate for a great start this year!

Former Bedford Wrestler Nate Schneider (11th grade) moved to Texas at the end of last season but we thought fans who’d watched Nate over the years would enjoy this update on his career. Nate’s now wrestling in Katy, Texas at Seven Lakes High School. Their season began earlier than ours and Nate is now 7-0! That’s right undefeated so far. This weekend he also took his first Championship, coming in first at the Cinco Ranch Tournament to earn Wrestler of the Week honors at his school.

You can follow Nate’s wrestling season in Texas at the the website for the Seven Lakes Spartans. In addition Nate’s younger brother Nick is also on the team. Nick is wrestling 171 and Nate’s going 119.

Congratulations Nate from your Kicking Mule family!
