The Burnaby Central Wildcats wrestling program enters the final march to the provincials on the heels of some good results.

The Burnaby Central Wildcats are back.
Although they never disappeared, wrestling head coach Gianni Buono said this year’s boost in numbers after a slight down year in 2018 is reflected in recent results.
“The team is looking pretty good – we’ve got some good young kids coming up, and they’ve done well in meets already.”
Last week was the Port Alberni Invitational, where a whole host of Wildcats medalled.
It came on the heels of a strong result at the Age Group meet two weeks ago in Abbotsford.
“We’re bouncing back a little bit this year. We’re rebuilding with a young core of kids and I think we’ve got a shot at a few medals (at B.C.s).
Here are the top results from the Alberni meet: boys, 1st - Dylan Duggan, 54kg; Colton Lee, 63kg; Bruce Malla, 45kg; Shivan Rajkumar, hw; Arashk Rasti, 70kg; Rajan Sidhu, 66kg. 3rd - Graham Armstrong, 74kg. 4th - Allen Ding, 66kg. 6th - Daniel Li, 70kg.
Girls, 1st - Erna Armstrong, 47kg; Sunna Bhayana, 47kg. 2nd - Tanisha Johal, 43kg.
