ZM Wrestling has also been putting in work off the mat and giving back to the community. Many wrestlers and volunteers helped with the Adopt-a-Highway cleanup on a 2 mile stretch of Highway 52 north of Zumbrota. ZM Wrestling also donated 2 hours of yard work in the silent auction for the Kelsey Bradley benefit. Matt Biever was the highest bidder and Caden Steffen, Spencer Defrang, Jacob Bennett, and Jack Haglund all pitched in on Sunday to help with Matt’s to-do list.

2015 Calendar Sales
2015 CALENDAR SALES
Hello Parents-
Our Zumbrota-Mazeppa Wrestling Community Calendar is one of the largest fundraisers for our program. These calendars run March through February and are personalized with birthdays and anniversaries. Each year, 7th- 12th grade wrestlers head out into the community to gather calendar orders. Money raised through calendar sales goes directly to the program to provide things such as lodging & clothing for the team. The goal is for each wrestler to sell at least 10 calendars. Those who reach this goal will have their names entered into a drawing for MN Gopher Wrestling tickets.
On Saturday, November 21st following practice, the wrestlers will take part in a sales blitz. The boys will sell calendars around Zumbrota & Mazeppa from 11:30-1:30 and will be provided with a catered lunch afterward @ the high school. Calendar sales will continue through November 30th, 2015 and delivery will be scheduled in February 2016.
Although Saturday practices are not mandatory for the Junior High wrestlers, their attendance is required on the 21st.
