CHL Wrestling Championships:

Reading took the CHL Championship trophy home Saturday with a convincing 62 point victory. The Blue Devils scored 257.5 points while Indian Hill finished runner-up in the tournament with 195 points.  Taylor was 3rd, Madeira took 4th place and Wyoming finished in 5th.

Reading's head coach Tim Kelly was named Coach of the Year and 165 pounder Gage Murphy gave Reading a clean sweep by winning Wrestler of the Year honors.  Gage, still undefeated on the season, won his 166th career match at the tournament, setting a new Reading High School record.  Brady Volz, a junior from Finneytown, won his 100 match of his career this weekend.

Interesting tidbit.  Wyoming long time coach and teacher at Wyoming, Brian Pitman, had two champions this weekend at CHL’s.  Here he is with his two 1st place finishers, Luke Freund and Landen Woolsey, and his son, assistant coach, Noah Pitman.  Brian had both of these wrestlers in his 3rd grade class at Wyoming as students.  Now they are CHL champs and their teacher is their coach.
