'Trusting the process': Delta wrestling wins third IHSAA sectional title in 4 years

MUNCIE, Ind. — Hoisting sectional title trophies might be the new norm for Delta wrestling, which has won three of the last four after none since 1996, but this one felt different.

The Eagles who competed on Saturday at Delta High School are almost an entirely new group than the winners from 2019 and 2020. Not only is new head coach Cody LeCount leading them, but nine of Delta's 11 regional qualifiers are underclassmen.

Yet the young roster narrowly claimed the title, tallying 208 points to top Yorktown (204), 2021 champion Cowan (179), Monroe Central (168) and Daleville (162).
