Wawasee’s wrestlers gathered as one for team media day on Wednesday ahead of a busy kick-off weekend.

The long-awaited start of the 2022-23 Wawasee wrestling season officially kicked off last weekend with the girls entry at East Noble. Now, it’s the boys turn.

Wawasee travels to Bellmont tomorrow night for a 6:30 varsity-only dual with the No. 3-ranked Braves. The night will coincide with some pre-match honoring for longtime Bellmont boss Paul Gunsett, who is battling cancer.

Wawasee’s girls will get back at it Saturday with entry into the Rochester Invite and the Wawasee JV boys will take part in the West Noble Invite. Both Saturday events are slated for 9 a.m. starts.

Wawasee concluded its wrestle-offs for varsity positions and also held its team photo day on Wednesday of this week, some of the last ‘preseason’ check-offs before the regular season grind kicks in.
