Twins shine at Adidas Wrestling National

Members of the Henryetta Knights Wrestling Club made their mark on the national stage, as twins Henry Howell and Harley Howell delivered standout performances at the prestigious Adidas Wrestling National in the Kindergarten – 1st Grade Division.

Competing against top youth wrestlers from across the country, Henry Howell dominated the 40-pound division, earning the title of National Champion and securing All-American honors. With this achievement, Henry becomes a two-time All-American, a remarkable accomplishment that highlights his dedication, skill, and continued success at the highest level of youth wrestling.

Not to be outdone, his twin brother Harley Howell also put together an impressive showing in the 43-pound division, battling his way through a highly competitive bracket to earn a bronze medal. His podium finish further solidifies the Howell twins as rising standouts in the sport.

Representing the Henryetta Knights Wrestling Club, both athletes demonstrated grit, determination, and composure throughout the tournament. Their performances reflect not only their hard work on the mat but also the strength of their training and support system behind them.

Coaches Tristan Demmitt, Jake Cookson and supporters praised the twins for their effort and sportsmanship, noting that competing – and succeeding – at a national event of this caliber is no small feat.

As they return home, Henry and Harley Howell bring pride to their community and momentum for the future, proving that their hard work continues to pay off on wrestling’s biggest stages.
