Ilan Kligerman grappled his way to first place on Sunday in the Section 2 Class A wrestling tournament in the 110-pound weight class.
The senior is the first Albany High School student-athlete to win a Class A sectional championship since Shawn Berman (96 pounds) in 2011.
Four additional Falcons placed at Sunday's Class A meet:
- Tabriz Khetab (138) - Fourth place
- Dillon Stevens (285) - Sixth place
- Jose Andrades-Pabon (152) - Sixth place
- Klue Thaw (118) - Sixth place
Kligerman and Khetab move on to next weekend's Section 2 wrestling tournament, seeking to become the first Albany High wrestlers to advance to the state tournament since Berman in 2011.
Congratulations Kligerman on his championship, and to all of our student-athletes on their achievements!
