Quick Work

Late arriving fans, or those who blinked, may have missed some of the fastest pins in recent memory. Gerry Giorgio (Exe) and Cole Haldeman (Tul) made quick work of their opening round opponents as each recorded pins in 13 seconds.

The fast and furious action continued in the quarterfinals when Mile Weinhold (Tul) needed only 15 seconds to reach the semifinals.

One bystander noted that the county record was 9 seconds, but that has yet to be confirmed.

What is known, is that cub reporter Nolan Boyer, a sophomore at Schuylkill Valley, has been invaluable in our Berks wrestling coverage. Boyer's astute observation allowed him to compile all the championship bracket pins recorded in 30 seconds or less:
