Leading off today: Four Warsaw wrestlers with a combined season record of 174-12 were among 120 competitors added Wednesday to the NYSPHSAA wrestling championships.
Eighth-grader Sam Wolf (99 pounds), junior Aaron Mann (220), and seniors Josh Griffith (152) and Dylan Royce (195) were added to the Division II field competing Feb. 27-28 at the Times Union Center in Albany. Mann's 53-3 record made him the winningest wrestler added through the wildcard process. Griffith was a qualifier for the 2014 tournament.
John Glenn, Shoreham-Wading River and Watkins Glen were awarded three wildcards apiece. Among the John Glenn trio, Matt Porrello (152) and Edwin Rubio (heavyweight) were 2014 state-meet qualifiers.
