Ridgewood High School varsity wrestling team win their second straight District 6 team championship.
Ridgewood Nj, For the second year in a row, the Ridgewood High School varsity wrestling team enjoyed a very successful post season, winning their second straight District 6 team championship. This is the second time in school history that the team has won this tournament. With this effort the team sent a record nine medal winners to the Region 2 tournament. District medal winners were third place finishers Roger Toral at 126 lbs. and Nick Saglimbeni at 132 lbs.; and second place finishers Austin Purritano at 170 lbs. and Michael Antosiewicz at 285 lbs. *
The team also had five District Champions, the most they have had in a year in RHS history. The 2014 District 6 champions were Joe Oliva at 138 lbs., Stephen Gerdner at 145 lbs., Kyle Inlander at 182 lbs., Andrew Moras at 195 lbs. and Sukmin Yoon at 220 lbs.
Congratulations also go to Joe Oliva for his second place finish in the Region 2 tournament. This is Joe’s fourth straight top-three finish in the Region 2 tournament and his fourth straight qualification for the NJSIAA individual state tournament. This is a feat that has never been accomplished by an RHS wrestler.
Torre Watson is the varsity coach.
