The Wrestling Team traveled to Jim Thorpe High School on Thursday, to compete in the Jim Thorpe Holiday Tournament. The team placed 4th out of 19 teams. And while I was pleased with the overall results, it was a bit disappointing to know we missed 3rd place by .5 points and 2nd place by 4.5 points. Of the 12 wrestlers we entered into the tournament, 10 placed in the top 8, 5 placed in the top 4 with two finalists - Freshman, Kevin Salmon (132) - 2nd and Sophomore, Brian Fennell (195) - 2nd.

106 - So. Jayln Pacheo - 4th
