GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER:

Dear Alumni and Friends of Wayne Wrestling,

Please join us on Thursday, May 27th as we dedicate the newly remodeled wrestling room at Wayne Middle School. The Wayne Wrestling Booster Club has made possible the creation of a Wall of Fame as the centerpiece of the upgrading of the training facility used by our entire wrestling program. We would like to have you as a guest of the booster club as we honor the tradition of excellence that is embodied in our wrestling program by dedicating the room to all of the past and current wrestlers of the program.

As you may realize, the Wayne Wrestling Booster Club continues to play an important role in the promotion and support of our wrestling team and its’ wrestlers. The booster club supports the pursuit of excellence in many ways, including paying for lodging as the team travels during the season. Please consider sponsoring a particular member of the Wall of Fame as a tribute to the commitment of that individual to our program and to the role the wrestling program has played in the development of countless young men.

We will also take the opportunity to celebrate several milestones in the history of the program, including:

*The 2009 -2010 season, which saw Wayne place 4th in the large school team standings at the New York State tournament. The post season saw tremendous success with Tory Cain (6th), Bob Dierna (4th),Vinny Digravio (3rd) placing at the New York State tournament and Al Dierna becoming Wayne’s 5th New York State Champion!

*Bob Dierna became the third NHSCA champion in the programs’ history by capturing the Junior Division crown in Virginia Beach, Virginia in March.

*Four time NCAA qualifier and All-American Josh Patterson completes his record setting career at SUNY Binghamton and will become Wayne’s first Division 1 wrestling coach when he joins Bucknell University as an assistant coach next fall.

*The contributions of Mr. Ted Hargarther to the wrestling program, including his career as a wrestler and as a coach.
