Over 200 wrestlers took part in Sunday’s Santa Slam, held at Woodside High. The event, which drew grapplers from as far away as Ohio, was sponsored by the Newport News Warriors and was open to athletes in three different categories – Pee Wee (K-2nd grade), Elementary (3-5) and Intermediate (6-8).
The host Warriors, behind the strength of four Pee-Wee titles from Gabe Izzo (46-47 lb.), Carmine McDaniel (55-59), Christian Corbin (73-86) and Troy Solomon (94-107), won the team competition with 298.5 points. Great Bridge placed second with 199.5, and Poquoson took third with 198.5.
