Weber wins individual district crown

by Chelsie Darrow

Individual districts were Monday, February 23 at Addison Schools. Pittsford wrestled well, though they did not place. Senior Chase Weber took 1st in his weight class, beating Calvin Sullins of Sand Creek in the finals. Taylor Hatfield placed 2nd struggling with a tough opponent in the semi-finals but still pulling though with a victory. Taylor tells of the wrestlers strong will. “We have to practice hard , work hard and just have the will to win because if we lost we wouldn’t’ be able to wrestle for the rest of the year.” Following Taylor and Chase were Kurtis Brackman wrestling against Tim Decker and Ben Wines beating Austin Spieth of Reading, both placing third with pins.

Regionals will be Saturday for the Wildcat wrestlers. Hopefully the wrestlers will keep working hard and keep their will to win to bring home a victory on Saturday night, and hopefully send a lot of wrestlers to the state meet. Good luck wrestlers!
