The 60th Annual
Jim Mooney Williamston Wrestling Classic Invitational
“Where Champions are Challenged”
January 21st, 2023
Named in honor of our long-time head coach, one of Mid-Michigan’s oldest and most prestigious wrestling tournaments was held on Saturday January 15, 2022 at Williamston High School, Williamston, Michigan. The Williamston Wrestling Classic began in 1963, the first year that Jim Mooney coached in Williamston. Long known for the high level of competition, the Classic features some of the top ranked teams in Michigan and numerous individual returning state champions and placers— it is commonly stated by Classic veterans that should you place at the Classic, you should place at the State tournament. In 2001, the tournament was renamed in honor of our long-time head coach, Jim Mooney.
