Beat The Streets Allentown

Our final practice before the big trip to Philly for wrestling day was a lot of fun. Coaching these young athletes has been a great and rewarding experience. There’s nothing like the power of wrestling. #Grit #compassion #service #team

What a great time last night with a visit from @lewiebakes . He came by to meet with the athletes, share some wisdom, and the kids absolutely loved it. We can’t thank him enough for giving us his time and hope to do it again real soon! @drexelwrestling @btsphilly #grit #compassion #service #team

Our young athletes had a great time today and we can’t thank Coach McLean, his staff, and his team enough for inviting us to their home and showing our athletes what it means to be a Mule! Great time, great wrestling, great people. @muhlenberg_wrestling @m_a_l_t

Our last practice before Christmas was an absolute blast. The drive and effort these athletes have been bringing has been tremendous. No better way to celebrate! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! #Grit #Determination #WrestlingWorks

The 3rd Annual Joe Sommer Memorial Golf Tournament was held on September 14th. HT Lyons, Joe’s former company, holds this golf outing each year in his honor. Their yearly goal is to generate money in Joe’s memory for the benefit of Lehigh Valley’s charitable groups who help others in our area. Everyone who knew Joe, knows that this is the best way to continue Joe’s legacy of always helping people in need. This year Austin was kind enough to include us in the list of charit...able organizations benefiting from this tournament. Their generous donation outfitted approximately 40 first-time wrestlers, boys and girls, Grades 3rd 5th, with uniforms for their Beat the Streets Wrestling Program 2019/2020 Season. Last night we gave them each their very own Central Elementary Eagles Wrestling T-shirt, Sweatshirt and Shorts. The kids were delighted! They were so thrilled to have something brand-new, of their very own. So many of them asked us if it was actually theirs and they could really keep it. Wrestling was one of Joe’s passions and I cannot think of a better way to honor his memory. A great big thank you to HT Lyons and @ajsommer214 ! #PayItForward #BeatTheStreets #JoeSommerJr See more

What an amazing night at the Lehigh vs Penn State match in front of a record breaking crowd at Stabler Arena. We can’t thank everyone at @lehighwrestling enough for making this happen for our young athletes Jeinilys, Jinlex, and Makayla. These girls wanted to see a real wrestling match and what better than Lehigh vs PSU! Along with the match came a full tour of the amazing Caruso Wrestling Complex by Lehigh wrestler and impromptu tour guide @danny_moran14. Big thank you to all the wrestlers that took time out to talk about wrestling and the importance of doing well in school. @jordankutler @chasegallik @satosh_abe and Penn State National Champion @baybeemarky_psu. Of course we had to end the night with the full experience, a slice at Sotto Santi! Thank you everyone!! @asdcentralelem @lehighwrestling @pennstatewrest @btsphilly
