In 2024, Greater Heights Wrestling made history. For the first time, the Kansas City based club walked out of Tulsa with a team age group championship, an accomplishment that put them squarely in the conversation with the country’s best. That title didn’t come easy. It took a mix of veterans and first-time medalists, plus a pressure-packed finish that came down to one last match. Missouri standout Billy Roberts delivered in a true second-place bout, and his win secured a 41–38 edge over powerhouse Sebolt Wrestling Club. Just like that, Greater Heights had arrived on the national stage.
One year later, the team proved it was no fluke. In 2025, they rolled into Tulsa and captured a second straight crown, this time in the 12U division. Roberts once again led the charge, taking home the 64-pound title, while teammate Quentin Neal fought his way to the finals at 67 pounds. Kasen Karl, already known for his Super 32 win, placed third at 73 pounds, and Jacobie Robbins added a third-place finish at 92 pounds. The supporting cast came through as well with Jackson Hermann finishing fifth at 67 pounds, and Andrew Taussig earning a runner-up spot at 76 pounds. Together, they outpaced NBWA, a team loaded with national level talent and walked away with another team age group championship title.
Now, the club is chasing something even bigger: a third consecutive Tulsa Nationals title. This year’s run will look different. Some of the wrestlers who formed the backbone of the 12U team are moving up to the 15U division, opening the door for a younger wave of competitors to step in. Leading that charge is 10U champ Berringer Robbins, who is not only defending his Tulsa title but also eyeing the elusive Trinity Award. He’s joined by a strong cast that includes returning placers Maxwell Hunsel, Paul Grado, and Ezra Taussig. Add in new contenders like Luke Taussig and Ren Tse, and the 10U group looks ready to keep the momentum rolling.
The depth doesn’t stop there. At 8U, names like Noah Estes are already turning heads. Estes, a USA Wrestling national champion in both freestyle and Greco, has established himself as one of the best in the country at his age. He’s part of a new wave of talent that gives Greater Heights staying power for years to come.
On the girls’ side, there’s plenty to get excited about as well. The program returned multiple placers in 2025, highlighted by 10U champion Avery Massey and 8U runner-up Madison Neal. Add in strong finishes from Zaina Albadri and Trinh Tse, and the girls are quickly building a reputation of their own. If the momentum continues, don’t be surprised if they’re in the mix for team hardware sooner rather than later.
The story of Greater Heights is about more than just titles. It’s about a culture where every match matters, and every athlete whether they’re chasing a championship or battling for a spot on the podium plays a role. The program has built its success on family support, committed coaching, and a belief that winning is earned one hard practice at a time.
As the 2026 season kicks off, Greater Heights finds itself in rare territory: a club that isn’t just competing with the best in the nation but beating them. A third Tulsa Nationals title would be another milestone, but even if the trophy case doesn’t grow this year, the legacy already speaks for itself. Greater Heights is no longer just a club on the rise—it’s a program defining what sustained success in youth wrestling looks like.
