JEFF WASHINGTON, NEW JERSEY
My career as a wrestling official began 10 years ago in the state of NJ. I'm also a SC high school official for 3 years. Ranking tournaments I have worked: 7 county, 4 district, 2 sectional. National Events: 2 RMN Nationals, 1 Freakshow, 3 Super 32, 2 Senior Nationals, 7 Virginia Duals, 1 NUWAY Nationals, 2 Ultimate LV. RMN Nationals and Freak Show were two of the toughest tournaments I worked last year. I was very impressed with the level of competition. I'm looking forward to very intense and exciting tournament. Good luck to all!
As a wrestler, I was a 3-time place-winner in the New Jersey high school state championships, as well as a D1 national qualifier and a top 12 finisher in NCAA DI Nationals. Wrestling has had an immeasurable influence on my life. From receiving a full college scholarship, to competing at Hawkeyes Arena, it has provided me with some of the most amazing experiences of my life. Of the many valuable tools and lessons it has given me, discipline and perseverance have been the most significant. Wrestling is the best sport on earth and wrestlers are a special breed.
