This season continued the trend of building not only the culture but also the competitiveness of wrestling at MICDS. Facing adversity, the young team—led by senior Max Charnond ’25, key returners, and standout newcomers like the Avirneni brothers (Dhruv ’27 and Krish ’28)—took the mat as a full lineup only once throughout the season, yet they consistently showed resilience and growth.
Standout performances included a 3-1 runner-up finish by Sam Glasser ’26 at the Orchard Farm Tournament, along with strong showings at the North Point Developmental Tournament by Will Reding ’27 (2-0, 1st), Dhruv Avirneni ’27 (2-0, 2nd), and Tommy Kastor ’28 (2-1, 2nd).
Several athletes earned postseason recognition for their achievements: D. Avirneni – 2nd Team All-Metro, and Glasser – 2nd Team All-Metro.
Season awards:
- Newcomer of the Year – K. Avirneni
- Most Improved – D. Avirneni
- Outstanding Wrestler – Glasser
- Ron Helms Award – Charnond
- Intensity Award – Reding
With one of the largest incoming freshman classes in recent years, the team is looking ahead to next season with an opportunity to make an immediate impact and strengthen the lineup.
