Marinilli makes CHS Wrestling History

One week after being crowned the MIAA D2 State Wrestling Champion at 138lb weight class, CHS sophomore Eddie Marinilli made school history becoming the FIRST EVER Bulldog Wrestler to be crowned an All-State Champion. 

For those unfamiliar with how the MIAA Wrestling Championships work, here is what Eddie accomplished:
All-State Champion!

  • Eddie was crowned Sectional Champion 3 weekends ago when he bested all Wrestlers at the 138lb weight class in the D2 Central Section of the state.  That qualified him to go the the D2 State Tournament last weekend. 
  • Last weekend Eddie was crowned D2 State Champion at 138lb weight class, when he took on the best of all of the state's D2 wrestlers from all sections of the state.  He topped them all. 
  • And, this weekend, Eddie faced off against the best 138lb Wrestlers from across the state in every division- All-State Champion. That means he was the best state champion of all the divisional state champions. That is a Bulldog first!
An All-State Championship is not determined in most sports, but Wrestling does truly determine who the best of the best is....and this year- at 138lbs- it is our Eddie Marinilli!
