Two wresters break 100-win mark

December 12, 2009 was a big day for Fonda-Fultonville wrestlers Kody Shaw (119-pound) and Erik Franklin (171-pound). Competing in the Columbia Duals meet against some of the top talent in the Capital District, the two Braves both picked up their 100th varsity career wrestling win.

In a sport where 100 wins is a major milestone, Kody's and Erik's accomplishment was made even more amazing considering that they achieved the mark on the same day and the fact that Kody is just a sophomore and Erik is only a junior.

Both grapplers began wrestling at the varsity level in seventh grade. And both wrestled in the 96-pound weight class.

"But I guess Erik grew a lot faster than I did," laughed Kody.

Since the December tournament, they have continued their winning ways. Erik is 27-5 and Kody is 26-6 as of January  15.

Congratulations!
