For the second year in a row, 14 local athletes qualified for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Wrestling Championships.

A year ago two of those athletes won state championships, but Maple Grove's Matt Trim was not among those atop the podium.

However, in his final shot at the state title, Trim reached the highest of the 14 defeating Chautauqua Lake/Westfield/Panama/Clymer's Mason Maring for the Division II 215-pound championship at MVP Arena in Albany last month.

That is why the Maple Grove senior is The Post-Journal/OBSERVER 2024 Wrestler of the Year.
