Canadian Wrestling Championships - Mouat Wrestlers Dominate
April 4, 2023
Several local wrestlers from Abbotsford schools, and our members of our own WJ Mouat Wrestling team, descended upon the Vancouver Convention Center this past week to participate in the Canadian Wrestling Championships. Over the course of 3 days, Tejvir Dhinsa (U19 Greco Roman), Michaeljeet Grewal (U15 Freestyle), Jagroop Dhinsa (U17 Freestyle), Manraj Randhawa (U17 Freestyle) and Omaro Dhadda (19 Freestyle), put on an extremely strong showing with podium showings for all 5 boys.
- Tejvir Dhinsa scored a first place finish in the U19 Greco Roman 92 kg division and also placed third in the U19 freestyle division. He won by technical fall (8-0). Dhinsa’s career has taken off since his win in 2022 as he went on to win a Pan-American bronze medal and recently captured gold at the Cadet Canadian Wrestling Championships. Dhinsa was named WCL’s Cadet Men’s Wrestler of the Year for 2022.
- Michaeljeet Grewal of the GGSWC placed first in the U17 freestyle 92 kg division after a 12-0 technical fall.
- Jagroop Dhinsa and Manraj Randhawa squared off in the final. Dhinsa earned the win with a 10-0 technical fall.
- Omrao Dhadda placed third in a tough, U19 freestyle division
