Congratulations to Zach Messinger and Nick Rajcsak on competing at the Ohio State Wrestling Championships this weekend at the Value City Arena in the Schottenstein Center. 672 wrestlers over 3 divisions competed in front of over 60,00 fans over 5 sessions of competition. This is truly the "super bowl" of high school wrestling.
Kudos to Zach Messinger who fought hard in 2 tightly contested matches. While comong up short, Zach distinguished himself this season as a true senior leader for the Bulldogs. While loosing his first match by a 1 point margin, Nick Rajcsak came back to win his next two matches in session 1 and 2. Although Nick came up short in his next two matches, Rajcsak earned 8th place in the state and All-Ohio honors. Congratulations to these two fine wrestlers who ended their High School wrestling careers at the Schott, they couldn't ask for more!

Day 2- Mentor Districts
Our Stow Bulldogs finished this day strong placing 16th out of 41 teams with 36 points. Dan Pittman and Dylan Finegan both fought with distinction but came up a little short in their matches and Ryan Rachocki was unable to continue with a clavicle injury. That left Messinger and Rajcsak to carry the banner. Zack Messinger was outstanding in fighting through the consolations to win 4th place, betaing Solon and Mentor wrestlers to get 4th place. Nick Rajcsak came out on top over the Massillon Washington and Twinsburg wrestlers to win his weight class and finish 1st.
Congratulation to Zack Messinger and Nick Rajcsak as both will take the trip to Columbus to compete in the State Championships starting on Thursday. Stow High should be very proud of these two young men in their accomplishments. Good luck in C-bus boys!
