St. Albans
The Tigers placed eighth out of thirty teams at the St. Albans Tournament this past weekend, which is significant since we did not bring a full team. Five out of the seven Woodberry wrestlers who competed in the tournament placed in this tournament that featured some of the best private schools in the country including three teams that are ranked in the top ten in the nation.
Tigers place 5 out of 7 wrestlers
Duke and Taylor were both champions in very competitive weight classes. This marks the first time in over twenty years that the Tigers have had two champions in the same year at the St. Albans Tournament.
Two champs at St. Albans for the first time in at least 20 years
In the finals Duke wrestled David Wesley from St. Chris. Wesley was National Prep runner up last year and proved to be tough competition this year, but Duke wrestled well and won.
Taylor defeated a very tough wrestler, Adam Morris, from Wyoming Seminary in the finals.
Brandon, who was unseeded going into the tournament, wound up beating both the second and third seeded wrestlers and moving on to the finals where he continued to wrestle well and placed second.
Both Josh and Witt placed 8th.
This coming weekend the Tigers will be competing at States.
