Darien
wrestling faced off against Fairfield Luldowe on Wednesday in their first meet
of the season.
DHS got blown
out of the water by Ludlowe. Only senior captain Patrick Daigle managed to win
a match.
Coach Joe
Vano said “ I knew it would probably end like this, keep in mind Ludlowe has an
excellent youth program. Even their freshmen have been wrestling for years.”
Ludlowe
was more experienced and that became increasingly obvious as the meet went on,
but one of DHS’s biggest problems was its lack of heavy weight wrestlers.
Darien forfeited every weight class above 160 making it virtual impossible to
win. Recruitment is a large issue for the team this year.
A rough
season is predicted for the wrestling team this year but that certainly won’t
stop them from working hard.
Standard wrestling
practices go from 2:30 until 5:30 everyday and everyone on the team is willing
to work hard for their wins, and it’s always a disappointment when something
like this happens.
