Mike Murray emerged as champion at the Ontario Bantam wrestling
finals. |
OSHAWA- For Team Impact
wrestler Mike Murray, winning the Ontario Bantam Championships
will be nice to look back on but considering the results he's had
this year, he has much to look forward to.
Murray, a Grade 8 student from Hampton, was
the top wrestler in the 86 kg class at the provincial championships
held at G.L. Roberts.
He defeated Mike Meyers of an Orillia club 11-0 in the championship
final.
It's a been a stellar year for Murray, who earlier
this year, defeated a wrestler who went on to become the Canadian
champion
in the cadet
age group, an age group Murray will join next year as a high
schooler.
In other Impact results, Derek Falk was a silver
medallist in the 43.4 kg class, Tommy Carroll took gold with a
win in
the
finals
of the 47 kg class over a Fallingbrook wrestler and James
Gardiner was a silver medallist in the 49.6 kg class. Dylan Rinaldis
finished fourth in the 55kg class; he was forced to withdraw
with a dislocated
shoulder after winning his first two matches.
Also, Roberts was the site that day for the
Kids and Novice festival. In the Kids division (under 13), Russell
Cates
took gold in the
42 kg class. Dustin Dixon, wrestling in the 49 kg class,
also took home gold. Connor Amyot settled for silver after
dropping
a 5-2
decision in the championship final of the 46.6 kg class.
