Columbus East High School

The 3A #9 Columbus East Wrestling team embarked on a challenging journey to Perry Meridian High School for the Falcon Duals, fully aware that they would face formidable opponents, with four teams ranked in their respective classes. The day demanded maximum effort, especially as the team was without their heavyweight wrestler due to illness, resulting in forfeit in that weight class for each match. Despite this setback, the Olympians exhibited exceptional competitiveness, narrowly losing by just one point to the 4A 4th-ranked team in the state. The team concluded the day with an impressive 3-1 record, showcasing their resilience and determination. It turned out to be a highly successful day for the Olympians wrestlers. The results of the matches were as follows: - Victory against 4A #10 Carmel with a score of 39-29 - Narrow defeat to 4A #4 Perry Meridian with a close score of 33-32 - Dominant win against Triton Central with a score of 64-18 - Triumphant performance against 3A #5 Greenfield-Central, securing another victory for the Olympians.
