A couple of training sessions to get acclimatized, and
a weigh in!
Central’s Wrestlers got down to what they do!
Win!!
Jessica Brouillette, Taylor Cartwright and Raj Gill represented Central at the recent Canadian Juvenile/Cadet National Wrestling Championships.

the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler.
Jessica Brouillette
was the Silver Medalist and won the coveted berth to the
World Cadet Wrestling Championship in Azerbajian this summer.
Raj Gill
after dominating his first three matches, was injured in his semi-final
bout and had to settle for a disappointing sixth place.
Well Done Wrestlers!!
