We are basically down to wrestlers and one of our track girls Elena DiMitri who has been tearing it up on the track as a freshman for RBC! I’ll be updating every week for the next 3 weeks and maybe some live updates from the tournaments.
Congrats to our guys for Ocean Twp wrestling for winning the Section (CJ Group 3) State Title as a team last week!
This weekend is Districts for the wrestlers.. the first step toward making AC and competing for a NJ state title as an individual…
Every year they are changing Districts and Regions and I can no longer keep track… I used to be able to go one gym and watch 90% of our wrestlers but now we have kids in 9 different districts (13, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26). Then that will funnel down to 4 different regions (4, 5, 6, 7)… I might try to bounce around this year depending on how everybody does and Ill give priority to the seniors.
