Senior Henry Danishek (145) finished third in district competition this past weekend and advances to the OHSAA Division III Individual State Wrestling Championship in Columbus.
Despite over a decade of experience on the mat, Danishek has overcome a number of obstacles to arrive at this pinnacle of his wrestling career thus far. Last year, Dayton Christian did not have a coach, so the program was put on hiatus and Danishek took the year off. And just a few short weeks ago, the five-man team lost one of its members, Tommy Williamitis, to a fatal car accident.
It has been a rocky road, but this wrestler is relaxed and thrilled to be state-bound.
“I think things are really clicking for me because I’m having fun,” said Danishek. “There isn’t as much pressure this year. I feel really good.”
Tournament action will begin Thursday at 3:00 pm. Let’s be in prayer for our Warrior wrestler!
