The Trojan wrestling season came to a close on Friday, February 24. Christopher Conway traveled to Houston to compete in the UIL State Wrestling Tournament at the 170 pound weight class. Chris represented the school and program well at the state meet. He was the first state qualifier for the Trojans since 2015. Chris’ run to the state meet was exceptionally impressive considering it was his first year officially competing in the sport. Conway is a senior and hopes to continue wrestling after he graduates this summer. Congratulations on all of your achievements, Chris!
