THIS IS A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! Prior to the break, Crossley was represented at Wrestling OFSAA by 3 very accomplished wrestlers. Once again this year, they succeeded very well and all 3 finished on the OFSAA podium and brought back a few medals. Congratulations to our student who fought through the largest draw to a 5th place finish, another student who came 1 point from bringing home gold and finished 3rd (her second OFSAA medal) in her last high school wrestling match. And finally our student in the last match of the tournament proudly came home with a silver medal winning the last match of his illustrious high school wrestling career (3 OFSAA medals). In case you are confused on how he won silver in his last match, wrestlers must compete for silver and bronze if they didn’t combat their opponent prior in the competition. Congratulations once again to our entire wrestling team on another very successful season!
