Bobby Dodson Ephraim Rudolphdodsonr@dewittschools.netWelcome to the DeWitt Middle School athletic page for Wrestling
The DeWitt Middle School Wrestling season will start up in early January 2024, shortly after the holiday break. To participate on the team, students must have a current physical card on file in our main office. There is also a sports fee of $160 that must be paid prior to the first meet. Students that have previously played on a DeWitt Middle School sports team, during this school year, have already met the requirement of a physical card and sports fee and do not have to submit anything else to be able to participate in wrestling. You will be able to view the entire wrestling schedule below as soon as it's finalized.
