Eastern Canadian Wrestling Championship Results 2019 – Tea Racozzi wins Gold
 
KES sent a very small team to the Eastern Canadian Wrestling Championships over the mid-term break. David McCurdy and Callum Lovelace gained some invaluable experience in the event. David continues to improve, as a rookie, and learn from every practice and every match and his attitude is always positive. He wrestled in the under 21 class and had lots of competition. Callum wrestled in the under 17-age group and wrestled some of the most competitive wrestlers he has seen in his second year in the sport. He will continue to improve as a young wrestler and is always keen to make the necessary adjustments. It was rewarding to see him win his final match of the day.
Tea Racozzi, team captain for the KES group who wrestle in the club events under the name “Windsor Mat Kings”, had a superb performance over the weekend. As an under 19 wrestler, she also wrestled in the under 21 division and drew two seasoned and accomplished opponents. In her first match against the 2018 N.B. age group Female Wrestler of the Year (second in the national team trials, and national championships and gold in the Greco event) Tea won a close one 12-11. She worked hard after being down 0-6, resulting from a slow start. Once she was able to establish upper body control and pressure, she was able to score on a coupe rolls. Tea’s superior fitness was certainly a great advantage. She will look to correct a few defensive gaps for her next event. In the final match, Tea was pitted against a University of N.B. varsity wrestler and Tea was able to outpace her opponent in a 10-0 win and pin. Tea will be working on some reaction wrestling to improve on her efforts this past weekend. Congratulations Tea. The team will be competing in the Sackville High School Wrestling Festival this Saturday and the N.S. Open Provincial Championships on Sunday.
