Nick Smith and Bailey McBride both won the Triple Crown Award by becoming State Champions in all three wrestling styles during the 2009 season. A Big Congratulations is in order for these boys. Winning a State Title in one style is quite an accomplishment by itself. But to do it in all styles, Folkstyle, Greco and Freestyle in one year is Outstanding!
Congratulations Eastside Wrestlers. All but 1 of the 13 members competing placed, and most of them placed in the top third in their weight class. This outstanding performance put the team in 4th place in the tournament. As a group, we scored more team points per wrestler than any of the other top 10 teams. Nice Job Eastside Wrestlers!!!
