All good things must come to an end, so the CMWAA is concluding our WotW series with one final installment. We’ve highlighted eight of the fourteen total wrestlers on the HS team, and now we’re moving into our ninth line-up spot at 152 lbs. Congrats to our final Wrestler of the Week, Dimitri Pihiou!
CM wrestling fans have been treated to bios of the 106, 113, 120, 126, 138, 145, and 160 lb. weight classes in our Wrestler of the Week series. But, where are the heavier weights? Well, this week we move up to the biggest weight class that there is with this week’s Wrestler of the Week, Giomar Ramos.
This past weekend the Big Macs wrestled in the Tri-County Wrestling Tournament (TRICADA). With ten boys wrestling, the Big Macs took second place behind Waynesburg, and they came away with three champions: Jimmy Baxter (106), Gerrit Nijenhuis (160), and Tanner Rohaley (145). For his first high school tournament win, we’re crowning Tanner as our Wrestler of the Week.
The Wrestler of the Week series has been on holiday hiatus, but we’re back with another edition. This past weekend the Big Macs took 8th place at the Powerade tournament, and three wrestlers placed, including Logan Macri (1st), Gerrit Nijenhuis (3rd), and this week’s WotW, Tim Hritsko (6th). When Tim battled back through the consolation bracket by beating two state champs from MD and VA, Tim stood smiling on the podium with his first Powerade medal.
For his work in winning the Cumberland Valley Kickoff Classic this past weekend, Gerrit Nijenhuis is being recognized as the Wrestler of the Week. Gerrit cruised his way to the 152 lb. finals with a pair of major decisions and a decision; he earned a spot on top of the podium with a 3rd period pin in the championship match
