The Bottom Line: With 21 wrestlers competing in the 14 weight classes, the entire team contributed to four dual meet victories in one day, according to Coach Marc Pechter. It marked the first time the Warriors walked away from the Waubonsie Valley “Mega Dual” competition with four victories. Deerfield is now 19-2 in dual meet competition with eight matches remaining in the season. Pechter hopes the team will eclipse its record of 24-2 and 22-2 the last two seasons.
