GEAR
All athletes wrestling in Fargo, and on the WFS National Dual Team are required to purchase a new set of singlets this season. We’ve been notified that the size chart runs small for the boys, and we recommend purchasing a size up. The second gear store opens tomorrow, April 22nd. Orders will arrive approximately eight weeks after the store closes on May 9th. Note: Wrestlers on the National Team that do not wish to purchase a new set of singlets may use a generic reversible singlet offered by the WWF coaching staff.
