 WRESTLING RECAP
   VARSITY WRESTLING
The varsity wrestling team finished second in both the CISAA Conference Championship and the NCISAA State Championship this year. Four wrestlers brought home individual titles in their respective weight classes to earn All-Conference honors. Sophomore Christopher Rogers won the 106-pound division, freshman Jack Hall was victorious at 126 pounds, and juniors Henk Warrick (145 lbs.) and James Van Nort (220 lbs.) each claimed the top spot in their weight class. Many of the newcomers to the starting lineup showed promise for the future.
Although the Latin wrestling team’s streak of state titles came to an end, this year’s runner-up team performance was no less im- pressive considering the fact that most of the wrestlers were new to the starting lineup. With the departure of 11 starters from last year’s team, most people did not expect much from the Mat Hawks in 2022. But like all the teams before them, Latin Wrestling was able to rise to the occasion and place 11 individuals in the state tournament.
MIDDLE SCHOOL WRESTLING
We had a very successful middle school wrestling season this year. With a blend of first-time wrestlers and veterans, we were co-champions of the conference. The boys wrestled an excellent championship round at conferences to catch and tie Charlotte Christian. We had 5 conference champions: Liam McConaughy at 92 lbs., Spear Gorelick at 120 lbs., Mac Fletcher at 126 lbs., Mat- thew Flynn at 160 lbs. and Banks Cutter at 182 lbs. The future of Charlotte Latin wrestling is on the right track!
