The Marianapolis Varsity Wrestling team wrapped up an exciting season, demonstrating hard work, growth, and adaptability under the leadership of Head Coach Cameron Alicandro. Throughout the season our wrestlers fought hard everyday to get stronger both individually and as a team. 

From the first practice it was apparent that it would be an exciting yet challenging season. We had mostly first year wrestlers, with overlap at almost every weight class that we covered. This meant lots of wrestle offs as motivation for everyone to try to improve as much as possible everyday.

One of the hallmarks of the season was the team's work ethic. From the start every wrestler worked hard at practice, there was enthusiasm and lots of questions from new wrestlers eager to learn, but beyond that several wrestlers set the tone by taking it upon themselves to continue their efforts outside of practice. Whether it was extra drilling after practice was over, showing up to open gym to practice moves, or jogging in the morning before class, a culture was established which led to substantial growth and improvement.

Through wins and loses individually, and as a team, every meet and match was viewed as an opportunity. Close matches are opportunities to learn, and one sided ones are opportunities to see how far we've come or how much further there is still to go. By taking advantage of all these opportunities Varsity Wrestling had many notable achievements this season including many first year wrestlers getting their first wins, a victory at home on Senior Night, and Sora Oliveri winning New Englands, and placing 2nd at Nationals.

As the season concludes Marianapolis Varsity Wrestling can take pride in the hard work they put in, and the progress they made. With the foundation built and the experience acquired this season, the team looks forward to even more success in coming seasons. Go Knights!
