Now 91, Tom LeProwse proud of what Bozeman wrestling tournament has become

BOZEMAN — Each January, when Bozeman High School’s parking lot is loaded with buses, its gym floor strategically designed with four wrestling mats, dozens of high school wrestlers stretching, jogging and grappling on the foam, you can find him in the northwest corner. Sitting in a chair atop the riser, his cowboy hat raised just enough to allow his blue-green eyes to peer out at the action below, is Tom LeProwse. “I like to see the energy of the kids, I like to see their skills,” he said softly, motioning to the nearest mat. “I designed those mats and they were picked up by a company who makes them.” LeProwse remains quiet for the most part, letting out the occasional chuckle or applause, depending on the match. “Some of the things that you used to get pinned by, they’ve turned that into an offensive weapon and pin the other guy with it,” he repeated a few times, seemingly more amazed each time.
