Wreslting Ecstacy, Another great year of scholastic wreslting and Scholastic Wrestling News publishing comes to a close with this issue. It is well expressed by Bensalem's Mike Dumin who raises arm in joy after pinning Pottstown's Reggie Nixon in 3:47 at District One (PIAA) wrestling Championships in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The win gave him the title. Have a good summer of camping, climbing mountians, wrestling free style and greco roman, running rivers, picking up new coaching techniques, learning new holds, and getting stronger every day... mentally and physically.
