MUNCIE — A quick glance at the final scores from Saturday's wrestling sectional at Delta wouldn't initially turn heads.
Yorktown won again, its 10th sectional title in a row. Delta finished second — always solid, but never quite enough to top Yorktown in the postseason.
Except this time, the Eagles appear to be closing the gap, fast and hard. Last season, Yorktown won the sectional with a dominating 117-point margin. Last Saturday, Delta shaved 100 points off, just 17 points away from the top spot.
There are multiple reasons for the improvement, from the maturation of athletes to familiarity with the coaching staff.
