Middletown wrestlers came away with eight medals and several just missed a top-three finish in their respective divisions.
Andres Yebra won the 95-pound TOC division while second-place medals went to Cormac Lloyd at 81 pounds and Diana Glasgow in the middle school girls 128-pound division. Bringing home third-place medals were Shiloh Fourie at 40 pounds, Froylan Ornelas at 81 pounds, Westley Cory at 95 pounds, Knox Chestnut at 120 pounds, and Kameron Colston in the 135-pound TOC division.
“The crowd went wild in the gym for the championship match as he took on a very great opponent,” Middletown co-coach Dominic Fanucchi said of Yebra’s final match. “Yebra controlled the match and wrestled smart.”
Fanucchi said he was thrilled with Middletown’s turnout for the tournament.
“The youth wrestlers came out in force and Middletown is super excited for the remainder of the season and to see the growth,” Fanucchi said.
Fanucchi also praised the efforts of Glasgow in the middle school girls division.
“She fought hard through the day and came away with silver,” Fanucchi said. “It’s only her second season and I’m excited to see her growth.”
