Eleven Horace Greeley youth wrestlers have earned spots at the New York State Youth Championships being held in Bay Shore, Long Island on March 3rd, and 4th.  Horace Greeley placed 13th overall in the sectional tournament.

Leading the way for Greeley were the Ferreira boys, Nathan (75lbs) and Jacob (120lbs) capturing Section 1 titles in their respective weight classes.  Adam Santoro (112 lbs) also won a Section 1 title for Greeley.

Placing second in the section were Nic Philips (190lbs), David Conta (85lbs), and Ethan Chin (75lbs).

Taking third for the Greeley was Alex Conta (75lbs), and Aaron Wolk (100lbs).

Placing fourth was Andrei Nesbit (98lbs).  Placing fifth was Yan Yan Xie (77lbs). Placing sixth was Joe Sasso (112 lbs).

Placing seventh in the tournament was Liam Lauerman (120lbs), Sebation Zucker (98lbs), Chris Sasso (70lbs), Mathew Schreiber (65lbs), Bronson Cvijanovich (112), and Adam Goodman (60lbs). 

The boys had been working five days a week getting ready for Youth Sectionals and it paid off.  We are extremely proud of all our young wrestlers.  We wish all of the boys who are advancing on to the New York State Finals great luck.  Eat ‘em up Greeley!
