The George Mason High School wrestling team traveled to Strasburg High School last Saturday to compete in the Conference 35 tournament. Although a number of missing weights hindered them from a team perspective, many quality individual performances were turned in, including a first-place finish by Mason’s Max Aifer.

Max Aifer was the top athlete in the 138-pound weight class. Seniors Jack Stricker (152 pounds), Grant Hagler (160 pounds) and sophomore Tiffanie Chau-Dang (106 pounds) all finished third, while Jacob Willson, Jack Dana, and Lee Hagler came in fourth. The wrestlers begin regional competition this Friday in Strasburg.
