The Vikes faced both Hamilton Township and Grandview Heights. The Vikings rose to the challenge and won the meets 44-30 and 30-18, respectively. Captain Josh Pearson’18 won 1 of 2 matches against the top-ranked wrestler in the state. Juniors Cole Duffy and Thomas Jones each won 1 match against tough opponents. Academy’s underclassmen were major contributors to the effort, with Phillip Soderberg’20 and Vassar Barney’21 each winning 2 matches, and freshmen Chris Sugar and Ethan Halpern each winning 1 match.
