   2010 152lb STATE CHAMP TSVETOMIR

Ridge Wrestling's 5th State Champion in 6 years is   Freshman Tsvetomir Petroshev, who won the 152 lb. AAAAA championship by defeating Union Grove’s Hunter Gamble by a margin of 3-2. Tsvet is the first PRHS freshman State Champion (an amazing feat for anyone, but especially in the competitive 152 weight class) since Kendall Albert’s first of two State Titles in 2005. The future looks bright for this hardworking and dedicated young man – who at the rate he is going may be the first ever four-time PRHS State Champion (no pressure). Congrats to Tsevtomir, his family, and the PRHS coaches who helped him reach this goal.
