This past weekend was the PIAA State Tournament for wrestling.
Michelle Yakupova won her 7th place match on Saturday. She is the first ever Abington Girls Wrestling PIAA State Medalist! She ends a 17-year hiatus for the Ghosts, claiming a PIAA State medal. She is the first underclass medalist since 1995.
Chelsea Kamgaing just missed placing, falling in the blood round to a 2x State Medalist. Just a sophomore, she will have two more cracks at it. We are all super proud of how far she has progressed; she will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come!
Ryan Solomon wrestled his last matches as a Ghost on Thursday night. His weight class was one of the deepest in the field, wrestling a returning state medalist in the first round consolations. He finishes an impressive career second in all-time wins with 108, a 2x Regional Placewinner, and 1x State Qualifier. We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinAthletics

Abington Senior High School would like to thank Julius King, a performance coach, for coming to speak to our health classes and inform students about his career and personal experiences! He spoke about his background as a personal trainer and previous work in football camps. He told the students about how his past experiences helped him realize what he wanted to do in life and helped lead him to his current mission of 'A Better Me.' He also served as a great inspiration for students, advising them to focus on their health, believe, and commit to what they want to do with their lives. We are extremely grateful for Julius coming to our school, not only to connect with students and share his story but also to inspire them. Thank you so much, Julius King! We hope to see you again soon. We are #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #FirstinAcademics
