VAWA State Championship 2/27

[66hornet]

I attended the VAWA State Championship in Richmond on Sunday, Feb. 27 and must say that the Jefferson District was well represented. There were wrestlers from Louisa, Orange, Fluvanna and William Monre that I recognized. It's great to see these young men continue in the off season. I know Zimmerman (Sophomore wrestled 112) from Fluvanna took a second - Rudnick (Fr at 145) from Orange to a 3rd - Sophomores from Orange: Almond (145) and Raftery (160) took 3rd's and Ryder (152) got 1st - Benner (Junior wrestled 140) took 2nd - did not catch how the others did - I saw Louisa heavyweight competing but lost track of how he did - The rounds ran very smoothly and the meet started at 9:00 am and ended by 3:00 pm. I don't have a clue how many wrestlers competed but seemed like a lot. If anyone knows any other results please post them.

All VAWA results are listed on the Virginia Wrestling Website. Quite a few region kids did very well this weekend.

I too attended the VAWA States and I have to say our region is definitely one of the strongest in the state. With the likes of Brentsville, Faquier, and even the Dulles District represented well. I was very pleased to see that Skyline (who was not very good this year to say the least) is on the way back to respectability. They had a champion at 189 and several more placed including an 8th grader at 103 who wrestled his tail off. Congrats to all the region 2 boys that placed.
