Singleton moving on to district tourney for EC

0

MADEIRA — A couple of first-year wrestlers made their mark Saturday for the East Clinton program at the Division III Sectional tournament at Madeira High School.

Jaden Singleton, at 195 pounds, finished fourth in the tournament and has qualified for this week’s district tournament. Kaden Hiles was fifth at 285 pounds and is a district alternate.

Singleton will compete Friday in the Division Southwest District Wrestling Championship 6:30 p.m. Friday at Troy’s Hobart Arena.

Hiles had not wrestled this season. “This is a great achievement for Kaden,” said EC coach Doug Stehlin. “He had worked really hard this season to get here.”

Singleton won a wild match in his sectional opener, 12-11 in overtime.

“This is a great accomplishment for a first-year wrestler,” Stehlin said. “I am excited for Jaden to be able to qualify for the district tournament. Not many wrestlers qualify for the district in their first year. Hopefully this will build his confidence to set some higher goals next year as a senior.”
