Crestwood’s Drake Rennecker will have a lot to say when he discusses his summer vacation on the first day of the 2023-2034 school year.
The rising senior earned All-America honors by finishing 9-1 with seven pins at the 2023 Scholastic Duals at Disneyworld over the weekend.
“It was definitely a really fun tournament,” Rennecker said. “I was really surprised by how I did.”
Rennecker wrestled 145 pounds for Ohio Titan Wrestling Club during the three-day tournament on June 21-23.
He pinned seven of his 10 opponents.
“I’ve been working hard, non-stop,” he said. “I’ve been going to practice three times a week and lifting three times a week. I’ve just been working hard.”
A district qualifier in 2023, Rennecker has his sights set on taking the next step as a senior by qualifying for the state tournament.
His work this summer has him on the path to achieving his goals.
“I think this is definitely a key part of going to the next level,” he said.
Rennecker has already competed in the Tournament of Champions in Virginia Beach and the Viper Pit in West Virginia. He’ll close out his summer wrestling at the Ohio State Fair.
