The Richmond Invitational is one of the longest running tournaments in Virginia. It is a 32 man double elimination invitational tournament with team points deciding the top teams. It has consistently drawn excellent competition from the best teams in Virginia and out-of-state. Teams represent all levels: AAA, AA, & Independent schools!

The tournament dates back to 1978, when it was first called the Marshall Walker Classic directed by Lou Timok. It expanded over the years from a small 8-team tournament to the current 32 man format. The name was changed in 1980 to the Richmond Invitational, when they changed sites to the Arthur Ashe Center in the City of Richmond. After a few years, it moved to Hermitage High School under the direction of Tim Donahue and it remains there today. It has the distinction of being one of the largest and toughest tournaments, certainly in the Richmond area and in the state of Virginia. It draws quality wrestlers from A, AA, AAA and Independent schools and many of those who compete in it each year do well on the regional and state level. Lately we have entries from out of state teams such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. We are proud of our history and all of the athletes, coaches, and fans have a great wrestling experience.
