De La Salle Wrestlers Dominate at Bay of Plenty Championships
On Sunday, 18th May, Ms Va’ai proudly led a team of nine determined wrestlers to the Bay of Plenty Wrestling Championships, held at Katikati College. This prestigious event brought together some of the best young athletes from the Bay of Plenty and Auckland regions, many with years of wrestling experience under their belts. Despite the tough competition, our De La Salle wrestlers rose to the challenge and delivered outstanding performances on the mat. All nine boys made the podium—a phenomenal achievement that reflects their hard work, resilience, and commitment.
A special congratulations goes to Latu Enoka and Wayne Esekia, who were crowned Bay of Plenty Champions in their respective age and weight divisions.
The team now shifts their focus to the upcoming Auckland Club Championships on Sunday, 1st June at Dilworth College, and the North Island Championships on Sunday, 22nd June in Tauranga. These events are key pathways for potential selection into the New Zealand Wrestling National Team.
We commend the efforts and sportsmanship of the entire squad:
Latu Enoka, Jordan Halalele, Folau Si’i, Siggie Perez, Thomas Enoka, Wayne Esekia, Ayzon-Sage Aloiai-Ratu, Kordell Leavai, and Ivan-James Feao.
Your school community are incredibly proud of your achievements. Malo lava, boys! Keep training hard and chasing greatness!
