Journeymen/ASICS
Northeast Collegiate Duals and
the Journeymen / ASICS Sprawl &
Brawl have taken the wrestling
world by storm. Widely recognized
as two of the best early season
collegiate wrestling events in the
country, these two tournaments get
1/3 of all division I collegiate
wrestling programs to wrestle in NY
State within a 7 days span.

Although New
York State has an extremely rich
high school wrestling tradition;
several parts of the state are
completely without collegiate
wrestling. Certain interpretations
of Title IX and depleted state
funding have taken their toll on the
sport in a big way. Upstate NY
(Capital Region) has been hit hard
in particular, losing Syracuse, SUNY
Albany, Union College, Hudson
Valley, RPI, and St Lawrence to name
just a few. Essentially losing these
programs has left the Capital Region
without a D-I, II, or III collegiate
wrestling program within a 65-mile
radius. A void of this magnitude has
a profound impact on our immediate
wrestling community. When pee-wee to
high school wrestlers, even coaches,
aren’t exposed to, aren’t influenced
by, and are not inspired by our
sports heroes; we do a disservice to
them. In an effort to bridge this
gap, Journeymen Wrestling has
organized and initiated a two upper
level Division I dual meet
tournaments to be hosted in NY State
- Northeast Duals (Hudson Valley
Community College, Troy NY) and
Sprawl & Brawl (Binghamton
University, Vestal NY). These
tournaments are purposely hosted at
small arenas in an effort to make
the younger wrestlers see the event
in an intimate setting. Journeymen
Wrestling hopes that by showcasing
elite level collegiate wrestling,
our wrestling youth will aspire to
continue their post high school
wrestling journey and be a part of
the world’s greatest sport! With all
this being said, we’re very
appreciative to the collegiate teams
that continue to support these
endeavors.
Stay tuned for our newest college
competition –Journeymen / ASICS
Battle of the BUs - Jan 31 2010 at
Shenendehowa HS Clifton Park NY.
This event features a great tri-meet
between D-I programs, Binghamton and
Boston Universities, as well as D-
III Ithaca College. A high school
dual meet is also slated. This year
Suburban Council rivals and
perennial state ranked programs
Shenendehowa and S Colonie square
off.
