Congrats to Student-Athlete of the Week Aidan Gill '18

The wrestling team is rolling. 

The Mat Cats have dominated two straight meets, rolling to a victory at the Riverside Rumble and wins over Strongsville and Madison on Saturday.

One of the keys to the team's recent success, Aidan Gill, has been named Student-Athlete of the Week.

The junior returned to the mat on Saturday for the first time this season after completing his football campaign in early December. Gill showed no signs of rust.

Gill not only defeated both of his opponents, but did so handily. The 220-pound pinned his foes in the first period of each match, using his strength to gain leverage and positioning. Impressed, one observer called him "as strong as a bull."

Tomorrow brings a new challenge for Gill and the Wildcats, as perennial powerhouse St. Edward will visit Sullivan Gym. Gill will face off with Jared Campbell, who finished as the state runner-up at 220 pounds last season. 

In the meantime, congratulations to Aidan and the wrestling program on this well-earned achievement.
