Regional Champions Gamet and Raczkowski Prepare for State Championship


Wrestling State Championships finals are going to be starting next week Thursday and go through Saturday. The State Championships are taking place at the Palace in Auburn Hills.

Western has a good chance of winning two weight classes with Sophomore Corey Gamet in the 112lbs weight class, and Senior Luke Raczkowski in the 140lbs.

The previous year Corey took home the State Championship in the 106lbs weight class, and is looking for back to back victories. Corey has a record of 46-0 and is currently ranked number 1 in his 112lbs weight class. This season Corey took his opponents down 144 times. He has been very dominant all season and hopes to continue the perfect record.

Luke has also been very dominant this season with a record of 50-3. Luke is also ranked number 1 in his weight class of 140lbs. As dominant as the sophomore is on his feet Luke is equally dominant on top, turning his opponents to their backs 97 times this season. On his preparations Luke said: “I’m pretty happy that I can eat whatever I want and next week I’m gonna have to start cutting again”. He is also going to continue to practice like all year. Keeping the same traditions that haven’t let him down yet.

Come out and support your Wrestling Panthers this weekend.
