Wrestlers Take Multiple Medals

More than a third of the Hart wrestlers who took part in last weekend's Tri-Valley Wrestling League finals won medals. The competition was stiff with more than 200 middle school students from 12 schools competing. Twenty of Hart's 23 wrestlers took part in the finals at Livermore's Granada High School.

 

Medal winners are:

Jacob Richey -- bronze

 

Louie Desprez -- silver

 

Conner Brown -- fourth place

Cal Dutrow -- silver

Riley Edsen -- silver

Dillon Gilbreth -- gold

Kevin Thompson -- bronze

 

The event is the season finale. The team is saying goodbye to head coach Rik Kretzinger, who just completed his 11th year in the league. The team also says goodbye to three coaches from local high schools -- Theo Dutrow and Derrick Buffi, who coached at Hart for four years, and Danny Harizal, a two-year Hart coach, are all headed to four-year universities. Their efforts for the team made a huge difference. The team wishes all four coaches the best of luck in their future endeavors!

 

Congratulations to the entire wrestling team for an outstanding season!
