Chad Strickland sees winning streak extended with another title

There was plenty of competition surrounding the lowest weight class for Wetumpka’s varsity wrestling team entering this season. Chad Strickland was a part of that competition but he started the year with the JV squad at the Vestavia Hills JV Kickoff Classic.

However, it did not take long for Strickland to prove himself and move to varsity. Wetumpka coach Anthony Byrd said he noticed it in the first tournament of the year when the Indians traveled to Mobile where Strickland put together five wins to claim seventh place at 106 pounds.
