Wrestlers, Tracksters and Swimmers excelling at the League and State level

It's been a banner season for our Wrestling, Track and Swim teams this winter.  In recent weeks, those programs have made the transition from team-centered competition to individual tournaments and meets. Many CHS student athletes have seen tremendous successes.  Here are some of the most impressive achievements-

Wrestling-

Kupferman and Ritson

Seven Bulldogs placed in the Sectional Tournament earlier in the month- Ruairi Ritson (Champion), Max Kupferman (2nd place), Seamus Brown (6th), Matt Morin (6th), Jacob George (6th), Matt Sica (6th), and Anika Valluri (6th). 

After doing well at the Sectionals, Ruairi Ritson, Max Kupferman and Anika Valluri went on to the D2 States where Ritson earned 2nd place and Kupferman 4th.  Both will be heading to the All-States tournament this weekend where they will face off against the best in the state at all divisions. 

Kupferman and Ritson are both representing the Bulldogs in the New England Championships being held in Providence this weekend. 

Indoor Track- 

Katie Oliver is the 2024 Indoor Hockomock League Champion in the long jump, she also finished 3rd overall at Division 3 Championships. Katie broke her own indoor school record with an impressive leap of 17’4.75” at Division 3 Championships! She will move on to the Meet of Champions (top 24 athletes in each event across all 5 divisions) where she is ranked 14th in the entire state of MA! 

In only her 2nd season of track and field sophomore Nora Giannacopolous has made tremendous strides. She finished 3rd in the 1000 meter at the Hockomock League Championship and 7th at Division 3 Championships! She currently sits at #3 in CHS history with a personal best of 3:11.75!
