Madison's Connor Eckhardt Advances to Virginia Regional Wresting Championship

After a grueling day of wrestling at Centreville High School, James Madison Senior wresting captain Connor Eckhardt has advanced to the finals on the 2014 Virginia 6A North Region Wrestling Championship in the 145lb weight class.

Eckhardt, who will be wrestling next year for the George Mason University Patriots, will take the mat tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. at Centreville High School against Walter Carlson of Chantilly High School.  The Washington Post has consistently ranked Carlson as one of the top wrestlers in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia throughout the 2013-14 season.

Also wrestling for the Warhawks on Sunday will be Madison Junior Ryan Barrett at 182lbs and Senior Captain Chris Hines at 195lbs, who are both seeking to take third place in the tournament and advance to the Virginia State Championships at Robinson High School in Fairfax next week.

Go Warhawks!
