This year, an older and more experienced Woodmore wrestling team looks to make a run at the Northern Buckeye Conference title.
The Wildcats return with three seniors in Gavin Beard, Dexter Emch and Cody Lockhart. The team also has returning sophomore state qualifier Evan Ulinski, who finished with an outstanding 39-3 record last year. Ulinski has cut over 15 pounds to qualify for the 106 pound weight class.
“My personal goal is to win state, but I would love to win a league championship as a team,” said Ulinski.
With a last place finish in the SLL last season, this year’s seniors look to improve greatly.
“We plan on improving this year with harder practices and gaining more members on the team,” said Lockhart. “We are aiming for a top three finish this year, which is a huge jump from last season,” added Emch.
This season, the team will be led by mostly upperclassmen with Emch wrestling at 138, Lockhart at 170, Beard at 152, and junior Colten Datkun at 113.
“The team looks forward and hopes to do well at the “A” Classic, the NBC championship and the sectionals this year,” said Emch.
