There will be only three home wrestling meets this year.

With the wrestling season coming to a start, the wrestlers prepare for their first meet. The season officially started on Nov. 20 and their first meet is on Tuesday Dec. 5 at Clearfield.

“The thing I look forward to the most is competition. The sport is really hard, and I look forward to competing. I also really look forward to bonding with my team, bringing home a few metals and going to state regionals,” junior Imeen Whitaker said. 

More information about the varsity wrestling season can be found here.

Danielle Bardelang, Public Relations Manager
I am a senior at the Altoona Area High School and am the public relations manager for the Mountain Echo newspaper. I seek excellence in my academic and extracurricular pursuits. I began writing at a young age, but fell in love with it in eighth grade. I absolutely love anything art related. Writing and art allows me to express myself and tell a story through all I do. I enjoy twirling batons, and spending time with family and friends.  I am involved with many clubs and groups within the school such as student ambassadors, student council, band front and yearbook. During my senior year I am holding the titles of Majorette Captain, and Yearbook Editor-in-Chief.  "This is my life... my story... my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for the edits I make." - Steve Maraboli.
