The best grade nine wrestler, Oscar Tapia, place an impressive second place, competing againt
older and stronger grade tens. Unfortunatly, he was the only junior to score points for the Irish.

class. His twin, Jon, placed an equally impressive third place in the tough 66 weight class. Ralph
Pinto (aka the sherpa) reached his personal best by earning a silver medal. Grade eleven heavyweight
Alex Stradiotti earned a silver medal in his weight class, while Ian Kennedy wrestled to a fifth place
finish.
