103 lbs Elliot Mondragon is 2011 Wash Post first team all Met selection in wrestling
The Washington Post’s winter all Met selections were released April 8th and senior Elliot Mondragon was named the metropolitan area’s top wrestler in the 103 pound weight class, while classmates Elizabeth Collins, a swimmer, and hockey forward, Reid Yager were honorably mentioned by the Post’s season ending awards.
“This is well deserved recognition for Elliot” commented head coach Don Dight. “He is the first all Met wrestler in my tenure as a head coach. He has had a wonderful career at Bishop Ireton and this is a perfect way to end his high school wrestling career.”
The lanky grappler ended his four-year career with a Northern Region and WCAC championship, an Ireton and St Stephens tourney championship, a second at Virginia state championships, and a third at the prestigious National Prep tournament at Lehigh University.
Liz Collins capped her swim career at Ireton with a school record (1:06.58) in the 100 meter breaststroke and finished 17th in the Junior National championships in Orlando, Florida recently. She captained the Cardinal swim team, was named their most valuable swimmer and will continue competitive swimming for the Tribe of William and Mary next year as a collegiate swimmer.
Reid Yager also captained the Cardinals as a “do it all” skater for the hockey team, leading them to a second place divisional finish in the Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League. He represented Bishop Ireton in the League’s all star game as well as demonstrating his well rounded high school career representing the School on the highly acclaimed Model UN team.
Mondragon, as a first team selection, will be recognized at the Washington Post’s annual luncheon gala downtown in June.
