Where We've Been
Poquoson High School Wrestling
After more than 40 years, the Virginia Duals is still one of the largest annual sporting events on the Peninsula. The Duals would not happen without the support of the Poquoson wrestling community. Earlier this month Poquoson recognized their four individual state champions, who are all juniors, at their Wall of Champions ceremony. The wrestling team also finished first in the state.
Pictured above: Jared Goodson (his 3rd state championship), Bryan Latta (his 2nd), Kameron Harrell (his 1st), and Reed Booth (his 2nd), along with most of the team’s coaching staff.
