On Saturday 2/22, Downingtown East sent their top 13 wrestlers to the District 1 South tournament at Oxford HS. The district is now 21 teams in size and the competitive edge gets sharper each year. Only the top six in each weight class qualify for next weekend’s regional tournament at Souderton HS. In the end, DE finished in 15th place and qualified two wrestlers for progression. Juniors Christian Fosmire (114) and Declan McDowell (133) both made it to the bronze medal match and placed 4th. Congratulations to them for grinding out the needed wins. Much appreciation also goes out to seniors Chris Munoz (121), Valen Piff (127), Frankie Hydutsky (145), and Scott Zhang (160) who laid it on the line at districts and came up short, but have fought for the blue and gold all season long. Now, a new week is on the horizon and our two remaining wrestlers have a shot to fight their way into the top 5 and carve out a spot at the PIAA State Tournament. Good luck gentlemen!
