💙💛 NATIONAL TEAM SUMMER — DOWNINGTOWN WEST WRESTLING 💙💛 This is a BIG summer for Downingtown West Wrestling, and we couldn’t be more proud of these athletes who have earned the opportunity to compete on the national stage. These opportunities aren’t given — they’re earned through hard work, consistency, and commitment. 🔥 Layla Namerow and Sarah Pearson have both earned spots on the PAUSAW Women’s Junior National Team. They’ll each represent PA (and Downingtown) at: • PAUSAW National Duals — Westfield, IN (June) AND • PAUSAW National Team — Fargo, ND (July) 💪 Walker Hoffman has earned his spot on Team PA and is heading to Fargo after becoming a 2026 US Open placer, competing at one of the highest levels in the country. 🏅 Shaefer Hoffman, a 2025 Fargo placer, is returning to the national stage once again — a testament to the consistency, grit, and work he puts in year-round. These trips are incredible opportunities — and also significant commitments. Travel, lodging, gear, training, and entry fees add up quickly. If you’re able, we’re asking our community to rally behind these athletes as they represent Downingtown on the national stage. Every bit of support means something. 💙💛 Ways to Support: • Layla Namerow: https://account.venmo.com/u/Veronica-Lardani • Sarah Pearson: https://account.venmo.com/u/ericrebeccapearson • Walker & Shaefer Hoffman: http://venmo.com/u/Hoffman-Brothers-26 Thank you for supporting our wrestlers and helping them chase big goals the right way. We’re proud of each of them and can’t wait to cheer them on this summer! 💙💛

NATIONAL TEAM — BIG SUMMER FOR SARAH

Downingtown West Wrestling is thrilled to announce that Sarah Pearson has earned a spot on the PAUSAW Women’s Junior National Team this summer!

Sarah is a NE Regional placer and a PAUSAW State Champ

NATIONAL TEAM — BIG SUMMER FOR SARAH Downingtown West Wrestling is thrilled to announce that Sarah Pearson has earned a spot on the PAUSAW Women’s Junior National Team this summer! Sarah is a NE Regional placer and a PAUSAW State Champion, and she’s not just taking one big trip — she earned TWO major PAUSAW opportunities this summer: • PAUSAW National Dual Team, Westfield, Indiana in June • PAUSAW National Team, Fargo, North Dakota in July That’s a big deal. Two trips, a ton of training, and two chances to represent PA and Downingtown on the national stage. These opportunities are earned — and Sarah has put in the work to get here. As excited as we are, the reality is these trips are expensive, and we’d love to rally behind her this summer. If you’re able, would you consider donating to help support Sarah? Thank you for supporting our wrestlers — we’re proud of her and can’t wait to cheer her on! 💙💛 Venmo Link: https://account.venmo.com/u/ericrebeccapearson

💙💛 NATIONAL TEAM — BIG SUMMER FOR LAYLA 💙💛 Big news from Downingtown West Wrestling: Layla Namerow has earned a spot on the PAUSAW Women’s Junior National Team this summer! After a strong season as a NE Regional placer and PAUSAW State Champion, Layla isn’t just heading out for one major event — she earned two opportunities to compete on the National Stage this summer. This summer, she’ll represent PA (and Downingtown) at: • PAUSAW National Dual Team — Westfield, Indiana (June) • PAUSAW National Team (Fargo) — Fargo, North Dakota (July) Two trips like this are a big deal — it takes a ton of training, commitment, and consistency. Because these opportunities are earned (and expensive), we’re hoping to rally behind Layla with travel, gear, training, and related costs. If you’re able, would you consider donating to help support Layla this summer? Thanks for supporting our wrestlers — we’re proud of her and can’t wait to cheer her on!

NATIONAL TEAM — FARGO BOUND

Downingtown West Wrestling is proud to announce that Shaefer Hoffman will be representing Team PA this summer at the US Marine Corps/USAW Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota!

Shaefer isn’t new to the big stage

NATIONAL TEAM — FARGO BOUND Downingtown West Wrestling is proud to announce that Shaefer Hoffman will be representing Team PA this summer at the US Marine Corps/USAW Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota! Shaefer isn’t new to the big stage — he’s a 2025 Fargo placer, and he’s continued to put in the work week after week to earn another shot at competing with the best in the country. That kind of consistency and grit doesn’t happen by accident. Fargo is an incredible opportunity… and it’s also expensive. Travel, lodging, gear, training, and tournament costs add up quickly. If you’re able, would you consider donating to help support Shaefer’s Fargo trip? Every bit helps, and it means a lot to our athletes to know the community is behind them.

NATIONAL TEAM — FARGO BOUND Downingtown West Wrestling is excited to share that Walker Hoffman has earned his spot on Team PA and will be heading to Fargo this summer for the US Marine Corps/USAW Nationals! Walker is a 2026 US Open placer — which tells you the level he’s competing at right now. He earned this opportunity through hard work, extra mat time, and showing up when it matters. Fargo is one of the toughest tournaments in the country, and we’re ready to rally behind him as he trains and prepares. The reality is the trip is costly — travel, hotel, gear, entry fees, and training add up fast. If you’re able, would you consider donating to help support Walker’s Fargo trip? Thank you for supporting our kids and helping them chase big goals the right way. 💙💛 Venmo Link: http://venmo.com/u/Hoffman-Brothers-26
