Individual Results
Collegiate had some up's and down's at the 2002 VISWA tournament, but still managed to
secure 6th place as a team. The younger wrestlers did a good job overall, and will have
things to improve upon in the future.
| wbf | 0:55 | Joe Sherman - St.Stephen's-St.Agnes | |
| wbf | 0:59 | Adam Carr - Cape Henry Collegiate | |

Joe Lawson came in as the #1 seed and won the championship. He dominated Zack Rolfe in
the semifinals, using a cradle in the first period to go up 5-0. In the finals, Joe broke open
a scoreless match with a takedown and backpoints to go up 4-0. Nielsen fought back with
two takedowns, closing the gap to 9-7. In the third period, Nielsen took a shot but Joe
defended and spun behind, to secure the 11-7 victory.

| lbd | 0-0 (2 OT) | Norman Anderson - Bishop O'Connell | 1 |
John Clore had a good tournament, and was literally seconds away from placing. He
advanced without a problem to the quarterfinals, where he faced Brian Herod of
St.Christopher's. Down 4-0 in the third period, John hit a roll to take Herod to
his back, but was awarded no points. In the consolations, he lost the medal placing
match in OT rideout. Neither wrestler could score during the entire match, as they
were both evenly matched. In the rideout period, John chose down and was very close to,
escaping, but the clock ran out.

Jamie came in as the #2 seed, and was wrestling well until the semi's. He banged
his head while warming up and suffered a concussion, severe enough that he forfieted
the rest of his matches.

Reed Blair had an incredible tournament to take third place. He started out
with a loss to Michael Copley of St.Christopher's. He then won two matches in
the consolations, when he ran into Cameron Martin of Benedictine. Down 5-1, Reed
was forcing Martin back, which produced a stalling call on Martin. Back in the
neutral position, Martin decided he would headbutt Reed, which gave Reed the victory
by disqualification. In his next match against Max Brandon, Reed was up 5-2 in the
third when Brandon hit a five point toss from neutral to go up 7-5. Reed then hit
another five point roll of his own to win 10-7, with 5 or 6 seconds left. He then
defeated Copley in a rematch and dominated Joe Doty of Norfolk Collegiate to take
third place.

| wbd | 6-2 | Andrew Farrar - Episcopal | 1 2 |
| wbd | 8-4 | Richard Meredith - Norfolk Collegiate | 1 |
Mac Fridell took third in a weight class where he was clearly the second best
wrestler. Due to the seeding, Mac had to wrestle Chris Miosi in the semifinals
Up to that point, Mac cruised to the semi's. In a rematch with Rich Meredith,
Mac kept the match on his feet and took Meredith down 7 times to win. Against
Miosi, Mac wrestled a heck of a match but came up short, as Miosi was too quick
on his feet. In the wrestleback's, Mac wrestled solidly to take third place, with
no real surprises occuring.
| wbf | 1:49 | Phil O'Donnell - St.Anne's-Belfield | |
| lbf | 1:39 | Zack Lepchitz - Hargrave Military | |

| wbd | 7-5 | Jason Mercer - Fork Union | |
| lbmd | 1-11 | Case Anderson - Episcopal |
Zach finished off his season by going 2-2 at the state tournament, which is not bad
given the amount of time he has wrestled. After losing his first match, he won two
in the consolations, when he ran into a tough Episcopal opponent and lost.
| wbmd | 21-10 | Matt Holmes - Randolph Macon | |
| lbf | 1:19 | P.J.Worosz - Paul VI | |

| wbd | 7-5 | James Tchabo - Bishop O'Connell | 1 |
| lbf | 3:48 | Seamus Owens - Bishop Ireton | 1 2 |
Joey Wolfe had a good tournament, and would have placed save for one mistake.
After picking up a major in his first match, he lost to Paul VI's famed P.J.Worosz.
He then rolled through the consolations, including a win over Adam Carr of Cape
Henry Collegiate. In their last match Carr was the victor, but Joe used a quick
move to pick up two back points in the closing seconds to win 8-6. In his final
match against Seamus Owens, Joe was up 7-3 with 40 seconds left. He made a
bad move, was caught in a cement mixer, and pinned. Despite this, Joe's future
looks bright, as his wrestling at VISWA was his best all season.
| wbf | 3:48 | Drew Bronson - Christchurch | |
| wbmd | 14-4 | Aaron Williamson - Fork Union | |
| lbf | 3:46 | Conner Gentil - Woodberry Forest | |
| lbd | 3-7 | Rob Hathaway - St.Stephen's/St.Agnes | 1 2 |
Alan Miller finished 2-2 at the VISWA. He won his first two matches to
advance to the quarterfinals. After losing to the state champion, Conner
Gentil of Woodberry in the quarterfinals, he dropped a close match in the
consolations. Alan fell behind early and tried his best to catch up, but
could not and lost by a decision.

| wbf | 1:32 | Joey Dial - Norfolk Collegiate | |
| lbd | 4-5 | Graham Salzer - Episcopal |

Harry Ludeman completed his late season resurgence by taking 6th place.
Ludeman advanced to the quarterfinals with 2 wins, where he lost to a
tough Episcopal opponent. In the wrestleback's, Harry wrestled well to
win his first match 12-6. In the medal placing round, he had a rematch
with Jeremy Papadinis of Hargrave Military, and won this time around in
a very tight match. He then lost to Ben Locke of St.Stephen's, who is a
quick wrestler on his feet. In the 5th-6th match, Harry wrestled Sheldon
Turner of Episcopal again, and lost by a decision.

| wbf | 0:36 | Warren Negri - Bishop O'Connell | |
| wbd | 8-5 | Jeb Pinkerton - St.Christopher's | 1 2 |
Seth Lotts won the championship in unique form. He spent less than two
minutes on the mat for his first four matches. In yet another rematch
against Jeb Pinkerton, Seth used two takedowns in the first period to
go up 4-1. Seth chose top in the second period, and rode Pinkerton out.
In the third period, Seth chose bottom and escaped. He then scored a
defensive takedown when Pinkerton shot. Pinkerton picked up a couple
of stalling points, though, when Seth started celebrating early and ran
around the mat.
