The Bammes Award has become a tradition in the Manhattan Wrestling Club. This award, although it is our top achievement, is not necessarily designed to go to the wrestler with the best win/loss record or who placed the highest at the state tournament. We do recognize those as great accomplishments, and we are extremely proud of those wrestlers. However, the Bammes Award is more than that. This award is designed for the wrestler who possesses and continuously exhibits the following traits on and off the wrestling mat: strong leadership skills, undying commitment and dedication to success in academics as well as athletics, and involvement in their community; someone who always shows an eagerness to learn about the sport; a wrestler who is passionate and has grown to the love the sport; someone who shows respect to his/her teammates, coaches, opponents, and officials at all times. The Bammes Award goes to the person who understands that true success is not only measured in wins and losses, but in personal growth and development as a person and as a wrestler.
