The Wadsworth High School wrestling team had a match against Uniontown Lake High School on Saturday, December 16, 2023. This match highlighted all nine seniors that are a part of the wrestling program.

The nine seniors walked with their parents and were recognized for the work they have put into the Wadsworth wrestling program over the past four years. The nine senior girls who do stats for the wrestling team were also recognized.
