  1. Columbia’s Ty White (Whitehall & Sem) and NC State’s Sam Speno (Fox Lane) also competed in the ESC.

    1. Speno is not in the NCAA tournament this year. Danbury’s Kevin Jack is wrestling at 141 for NC State. I knew that White was up in Section 2 before going to Sem but I don’t remember Whitehall at ESC that year. Are you certain he wrestled in the Classic? If so, great, I’ll gladly enter him…the more the merrier! Great stuff!

    2. I just checked…he did compete at ESC when he was with Sem…I missed that he finished 5th at 138 in 2012 …nice job!
