RAMAPO, NY – Congratulations to Ramapo HS Wrestler Dimitri Pierre on Winning the Section 1 285 lb. Championship.
Pierre was down by 1 point in overtime, he hit a hip toss and pinned his opponent in true storybook fashion. First, he defeated cancer, and now he has defeated section 1.
Next up: The NY State Championships on 2/24 and 2/25.
“If I see myself to the end, then there wouldn’t be much to look back on and regret, because I don’t want to regret anything,” Pierre said. “I saw myself there and I saw myself getting through all this, so eventually I said, ‘You know what?’ One day it’s gonna happen, so just wait for it.” – Dimitri Pierre
