The 2024 Middle School Mid-Cumberland Area Conference (MCAC) Wrestling Tournament was held on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at Harpeth High School. The competition included nine Middle School teams: Fairview, Cheatham, Burns, Charlotte, Harpeth, East Robertson, Dickson, Coopertown, and Sycamore.
This wrestling tournament is an individual format with each wrestler trying to place in the top four in their respective weight classes. Each team is allowed two wrestlers per weight class. One wrestler is designated as a point scorer for the team, while the other is a non-point scorer but can assist their team by beating the other team’s point scorers during the tournament. Team points are awarded on the success of each team’s point scoring wrestlers. In addition to the individual achievements, the top two teams with the most team points earned, claim the first and second place team plaques for the tournament.
