In the boys junior varsity division, Alex Gougousis went 2-1  with a second place finish at 120 pounds. Robert Delashmutt took 4th  going 2-2 with his medal match having to default due to injury in the 138 pounds. Anthony Gougousis went 2-2 at 160 pounds. Nicholas Bronson went 2-2 at 170 pounds.

In the varsity division, Brock McCarty took second going 2-1 at 220 pounds. Eli Blackwell took fourth going 2-2 at 126 pounds. Also wrestling was Jonathon Uhl who went 1-2 at 126 pounds, Octavio Torres who went 0-2 at 145 pounds, Sammo Blackwell who went 2-2 at 152 pounds, and Angel Romo who went 1-2 at 285 pounds.

During the holidays, practices are 8-10/11am.

Captains will lead wrestlers in a pre-practice workout most days. Watch group messages for details.

Congratulations to all participants in the first Tracy High wrestle-off of the 2017-18 season.

The initial lineup looks like:

• 106: TBD
• 113: TBD
• 120: Gougousis, Alex
• 126: Blackwell, Eli
• 132: Delashmut, Robert
• 138: Revino, Riley
• 145: Rodriguez, Justin (Torres, Octavio)
• 152: Blackwell, Sammo

Not all possible participants were available as some are still in a fall sport (football for example gets Folsom tonight in D1 round 2 action!)  Wrestlers can continue to challenge in future wrestle offs as their weight changes, skill levels improve, etc. I expect a competitive full lineup.

Olympic gold medalist suggests you watch what to eat…

 

Wrestlers. Be disciplined with your diet. You have the rest of your life to eat anything you want, but a very short time to be the best in the state/country/world. You know what tastes better than pizza now? Championship pizza.

The Tracy High football team has qualified for advancement to the CIF SJS playoffs. Tracy will host the Turlock Bulldogs this Thursday at 7pm.  Some of our wrestlers will have to wait a little longer to be on the mat while they focus on another section title appearance.

Eli competing under the Cardinal Wrestling Club (affiliated with Stanford) took first place going 4-0.

At the conclusion of last year’s season, the freshman class were eager for another season. The time has now come and they are all working hard to get to the next level.  Who will join them in their quest?
