Smith High School – Wrestling Richardson Roundup

Smith wrestling had a lot to be thankful for over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Before the Trojans broke for the week, they competed in the Richardson Roundup tournament at Richardson High School. All but one Trojan wrestler had a victory on the day, and several returned home with some shiny hardware. Three senior boys won first place medals with first period pins. Chris Conway and Jonathan Johnson won the 182 and 285 pound classes respectively, and Tyrese Lewis, wrestling in the 160 pound class, recorded the fastest pin in the final round when he defeated his opponent from Byron Nelson High School in a mere 15 seconds! 

The JV Trojans made some news as well when newcomers Caleb Daley and Kendall Iwuagwu each took home silver medals in their first career tournaments. These two wrestlers have bright futures ahead of them.

The wrestlers enjoyed some time off, but they are gearing up for three consecutive tournament weekends. This weekend the squad will travel to South Grand Prairie High School for a two day tournament on Friday and Saturday, next week they will compete in the always tough Paul Aubrey Holiday Classic at RL Turner, and they close out the first semester at Wiley High School on December 17.
