Kharchla named InterMat High School Wrestler of the Year

TDR Editor’s Note; We expect that we will be hearing more about this future Buckeye star in the coming years so best to become familiar with the name. The article also includes a list of previous award winners. The list of events in the past two months is included at the start and as one wonders would it be possible to see them all at some time. Hmmm, going to make some plans.

One calendar month has passed since the last of the scholastic state champions were crowned in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on March 9. Since then, the wrestling calendar has been busy with both the Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic and the Wrestling USA Magazine Dream Team Classic, NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Pittsburgh, along with the NHSCA grade-level nationals and the USA Wrestling Junior and 16U Folkstyle Nationals. All that being said, it’s time to put a wrap on the 2018-19 scholastic wrestling season with the release of the final national high school weight class rankings. It is a chance to reflect upon what has happened over the past calendar year (i.e. cycle), and to acknowledge the InterMat High School Wrestler of the Year, along with the InterMat First Team All-Americans.

Wrestler of the Year: Carson Kharchla (Olentangy Liberty, Ohio), 170 pounds
The Ohio State-bound Kharchla took last season’s state title, and pushed it to another level over the last 12 months. After a spring and early summer fully of heavy training at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Kharchla went to Fargo for the Junior National freestyle tournament and absolutely dominated what was a very strong path in a rather strong 170-pound weight class.
