The Columbus East wrestlers made their annual trek to Orlando, Florida, to compete in the Disney Duals last week, and the Olympians had mixed results.
East went 6-4 against some of the best teams in the country. The Olympians could be rebuilding this season after back-to-back top-five state finishes.
"Replacing a large part of the team with new guys, we’re trying to get stuff figured out," East coach Chris Cooper said. "We lost a couple of close duals that we felt like we could have won. But the six matches that we won and the other two that we lost, we wrestled pretty well."
Four Olympians earned All-American honors — incoming junior Tyler Williams (132 pounds), incoming sophomores Jaden Durnil (145) and Kade Law (152) and incoming junior Sam Morrill (160). A fifth individual who competed with the East team, Sam Scott (113), who will be a senior from Heritage Hills, also made All-American.
While in Florida, the Olympians camped at Tampa Jesuit Prep High School and got in a couple days of practice with a powerhouse team from Camden, Georgia.
Olympians earn academic honors
Four members of the Columbus East girls track team have been named Academic All-State by the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association.
Seniors Isha Chavan, Yami Diaz, Liz Hagan and Amanda Pottorff made the first team. East seniors Maddy Ping and Olivia Williams are honorable mention selections.
