This year Jia Montenez featured a special wrestler. We were happy to have Ava Montanez be part of the event. She is the beautiful little girl pictured.

We didn't have the turn out that we were looking for to honor Jia but everyone had a great day and it was a super event.

We are hoping next year we are bigger.
