🔥 PIAA Boys Regional Wrestling Championships – Southeast 2A & Northeast 3A 🔥

Last weekend delivered a huge postseason showcase across two championship sites, with top wrestlers battling for their shot at Hershey.

At Warwick High School, the Southeast 2A Regional brought together athletes from Districts 1, 3, 11, and 12 in a deep, high‑stakes field where only the top five in each weight class advanced. At the same time, Liberty High School hosted the Northeast 3A Regional, featuring another slate of elite competitors pushing through one of the toughest steps on the road to states.

As the official medical provider for both events, St. Luke’s Sports Medicine was proud to support every athlete on the mats. Over two dozen athletic trainers and multiple physicians provided comprehensive medical coverage throughout the weekend, ensuring safe, high‑quality care during two intense days of competition.

👏 Congratulations to all competitors, and best of luck to every wrestler who earned their ticket toHershey. Your hard work and resilience have brought you to the state stage — finish strong.
