Wrestling team off to 4-2 start
As of last week, the wrestling team was 4-2, following a 42-39 win over Cedar Ridge Dec. 14. For the first time the team has wrestlers for every single weight class.
“I feel with the large freshman class that we have here at Northwood, many have come out to try the sport of wrestling which has added depth to the team,” coach Jason Amy said.
So far, Amy likes what he sees.
“They are progressing very nicely and wrestling tough, wrestling aggressive, going after people and winning,” he said.
On Dec. 12, the Chargers lost to Chatham Central 45-36. On Dec. 9, they tied South Granville 42-42 but won because of their first period takedowns.
Girls’ swimming ties for first in meet
The growing swim team competed in its first two meets this season. The girls’ team tied for first in its first competition Dec. 1, with nine individual or relay first place finishes. For the smaller boys’ team, Philip Straughn had a first and second place finish.
Every morning from 6 a.m. – 7 a.m. the swim team gets together and practices.
“[Swimming] gives you a big adrenaline rush,” Kellsie Weiss, freshman swim team member stated. “It takes a lot of dedication.”
