The wrestling team is headed to Sectionals this weekend, after a good showing at Regionals on Feb 14 and 15.
Eight of the ten wrestlers that went to Regionals made it to Sectionals, with team captain, senior Silas Hunter placing 2nd. Other wrestlers on the team received 3rd and 4th place. As for the girls regionals, junior Halana Lemke placed in 2nd and will be moving forward to compete at Sectionals.
“At this stage in the wrestling season, it’s more individually focused versus team focused,” Coach Dayton Wu said.
It is “impressive” Hunter said, for East’s team to have so many wrestlers qualify for Sectionals at once.

“Overall, as a team, we did pretty good,” Hunter said.
