Warwick Youth Wrestling

Warwick – The sport of wrestling in Warwick is coming off a historic 2010 season which saw the high school varsity team crown a record-breaking eight section-9 champions and bring home its first New York State Champion in the 9 year history of the varsity squad.  The youth team, coached by Tom Silvestri, followed in the footsteps of their high school counterparts, sending eleven wrestlers to the New York State Youth Tournament. The talented youth squad finished with the strongest showing in all of Section 9; bringing home one champion, two runners up, one fifth-place and one sixth-place medalist.
