GR Picks up Gold at American Grappling Challenge

GriffonRawl sent six members to the AGC in Medina.  And it was a very tough competition: Strongstyle, Evolve, Instigator, all sent teams.  All together 38 gyms/teams were represented.  Everyone from our team found things to take back to GriffonRawl and work on.

This is how we did:
Cody Lewis - Featherweight Blue Belt Intermediate GI 1st place gold and Featherweight Intermediate No-Gi 1st place gold

Jeff Offack - First place in featherweight white belt.

Kevin McCallion  - 2nd place in Lightweight Intermediate Blue Belt & 3rd place in No-Gi intermediate blue belt

Joe Callari - placed 3rd in No-Gi Intermediate middle weight, but did not place in Intermediate Blue Belt Gi at middleweight

Steve Hetzel - did not place in Gi or No-Gi (purple belt & no Gi advance...featherweight)

Sammy Callari welterweight intermediate blue belt and intermediate No-Gi...but lost matches do to points. Both guys he lost to went on to win the division.

Thanks again to everyone who stepped up and competed, and to everyone who made the trip to support the team.  The next AGC is in August.
