Hi Flyer Wrestling

The Hi flyer wrestling program is entering its 27th season. The Hi Flyer club is coached by current Minnesota Gopher wrestlers. Many of the current coaches were Hi Flyers themselves during their youth wrestling days. The staff works with the kids at all practices and then coaches and monitors their progress at weekend competitions.
