MWP “UNDER THE LIGHTS”
October 24, 2026
ALA High School, 1070 S Higley Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85296
This is a one-of-a-kind wrestling experience! Wrestlers will compete outdoors on the football field under the stadium lights for an unforgettable night of competition. How cool is that?
ALA High School features an ARTIFICIAL TURF field, which is extremely important for athlete safety. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf prevents moisture from transferring onto the wrestling mats and creating slippery conditions. Safety is always a top priority with MWP.
Coaches, Wrestlers, and Wrestling Family: Please share your suggestions on how we can have some of the greatest wrestling tournaments in the country. I would love to hear from you. Miles Nuessle - (602) 326-3473,
The top 3 teams win this awesome custom banner
Every weight class winner receives this custom Singlet
The top 6 receives this 6-inch medal
Evey division will receive this an outstanding wrestler Ring
