Had a fun day at the city championships. Some things went our way, some didn’t. But we all got better and finished third as a team. We had people finish top 4 in 9 of the 14 weight classes highlighted by Susie becoming the 106lb city champ in the boys division!!!

Last night was bittersweet. Our seniors wrestled at home for the final time in front of the largest crowd I can remember for a week night dual. Alumni came in from as far as Columbus Ohio to see next years batch of alumni, tell stories, and share some laughs. Proud of all the seniors and greatful for everyone who came to send them off in style.

Had a fun day at the city championships with the boys squad coming in second place behind Frederick Douglass. Susie Beeken set the tone becoming the first ever Lexington girls city champ at 100lbs!!!! The boys brought home some hardware too, as Karson Shott and Kaleb Monroe got runner up finishes, and Drake Wimsatt and Neftaly Cruz had dominate performances on their way to becoming city champs!!!
