Centennial Wrestling Shines at Regional Tournament

Words: Joey Sedlacko

This past weekend on February 22 and 23, five wrestlers placed in the top six of their
individual weight class for Centennial at the Regional Wrestling Tournament.

Senior Jason Kraisser placed first in the 152 division and is moving onto the state
tournament on March 1 and 2. Another senior, Zaid Narmouq, finished in fifth place in the 132
division. The Eagles had one more fifth place finisher, freshman Nick Shapiro, who wrestled in
the 120 division.

Sophomores Chris Lee and Matt Harris both finished in sixth place, with Lee in the 113
division and Harris in the 145 division.

Only the top four finishers in each weight class move on to the state tournament, but the
success from the underclassmen at the regional level proves to be a good sign for the wrestling
program as they look to continue to improve for future years.

For Kraisser, he will be looking to carry his momentum of first place
finishes in the county and regional tournament into the state tournament this upcoming
weekend.

Kraisser will be aiming to capture his fourth state championship in four years, a feat only
seven other wrestlers have accomplished in Maryland history.
