Another year. Another Bay Rivers District title.

New Kent High School’s wrestling team had very few issues as they scored 276.5 points and captured another district championship on Feb. 4. Poquoson placed second with 154.5 points.

Every New Kent wrestler earned a spot on the podium, something that has been rarely accomplished as they take that momentum into regional competition on Feb. 14.

First place winners for the Trojans were Trent Carter (106), Tristan Carter (120 pounds), Alex Cuic (126 pounds), Adam Ayala (150 pounds), Chase Wiles (175 pounds), and Luke Adamson (215 pounds).

Runners-up for New Kent include Carter Roy (113 pounds), Conner Robinson (132 pounds), Blake Gregory (144 pounds), Quinn Morrison (157 pounds), Bennett Adamson (190 pounds), and Bryan Pascale (285 pounds).

Bronze medalists were Aiden Slimlick (138 pounds) and Liam O’Connell (165 pounds).
