2011-12 Summit Wrestling Set to Hit The Mat
The Summit wrestling team is set to kick off their season when they host Johnson this Friday.
The Hilltoppers wrestling team returns some key wrestlers from a 2010-11 squad that finished 7th in District 10 and produced one district champion, Nick Abbott, and one district runner up in AJ Iarussi who also played running back on 2011 state championship runner up squad.
Iarussi was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Region 3 tournament and could possibly earn a trip to Atlantic City for this year's state tournament. Like Iarussi, Abbott missed out on qualifying for Atlantic City by finishing third in Region 3 and he too has his sights set on competing with the state's best this season.

The team will have to answer some questions at certain weight classes, including the 220 and heavyweight divisions. If the Hilltoppers can find consistent performers at these weights, then they should produce strong team results to go along with the expected performances of Abbott and Iarussi.
