Third Annual Dave Gleason Memorial Scramble Golf Tournament

Dave Gleason was the epitomy of what a supportive wrestling parent looks like. His children DL and Dusty wrestled at Oak Park from 2000-2006 and were part of great programs, each earning all state honors and participating in mulitple team state titles. Dave was tragically killed in an automobile accident in Liberty in 2005, sitting at a stop light. His life was sacrificed, with another man, which saved the lives of many children on the school bus that hit them.

To honor Dave, Team Central Wrestling club hosts a tournament in his name to help grow and develop the sport of wrestling. Scholarships will be applied for and awarded to participants of the club who show a drive and desire to grow as a wrestler, as well as exhibit qualities that give back to the sport of wrestling. These scholarships will help pay for the expenses associated with wrestling at larger, national tournaments, such as Fargo, where wrestlers get noticed by colleges and increase their chances of collegiate scholarships.

This event also aims to grow commaraderie amongst the wrestling community and those suporting it. Thank you so much for your participation!
