Yorktown Wrestling Program: A Groundbreaking Year and an Aspiration for Continued Success
As head coach, I am incredibly proud of the outstanding accomplishments of the Yorktown Wrestling Program this past season. Our team continued to build on its legacy, showcasing resilience, determination, and excellence on the mat.
This year, Yorktown crowned two District Champions, two Region Champions, five State Qualifiers, and three State Placers. Basheer Hadi made history as a State Finalist at 285 lbs, while Cambyses Khani and Charlotte Bowman both secured third-place finishes at 120 lbs and 145 lbs, respectively. Notably, Cambyses Khani and Basheer Hadi became repeat Region Champions—a feat that had not been accomplished at Yorktown in over 50 years.
Determined to keep the upward trajectory of our program alive, our coaches remain steadfast in embracing Dan Gable’s seven essentials of wrestling:
- Mat wrestling
- Neutral wrestling
- Strength
- Conditioning
- Flexibility
- Nutrition
- Attitude
The anticipation for the upcoming season builds as we eagerly look forward to witnessing the fruits of our team’s unwavering dedication and hard work. Let’s strive to excel even further this year!

BUILDING CHAMPION WRESTLERS
Wrestling is a sport that prepares student athletes for lifelong success by building character through hard work. Our team values discipline, success, academics and sportsmanship.
When I joined the team as a freshman, the constant losses and intense workouts made me think the sport wasn’t for me. The coaching staff refused to let me give up on myself, and pushed me beyond my self-imposed limits. They turned me from a novice wrestler to one of the best in the state in a very short period of time.
