BRANDON — Otter Valley Union High School junior wrestler Isaac Whitney recently won his 100th match, reaching the milestone at a Feb. 3 tournament hosted by Monument Mountain High School in Great Barrington, Mass.

Whitney went 4-0 at the tournament, a five-team dual meet, on the way to winning his 175-pound weight class. 

Whitney’s 100th win was a 6-2 decision over Noah Poirier of Taconic High School in Pittsfield, Mass. The victory was particularly notable because the weekend before Poirier had claimed his third straight Western Massachusetts Sectional Championship. 

So far this winter Whitney has compiled a 43-7 record, pushing his career mark to 105-38 in less than three years of varsity competition. He will be a high seed at the upcoming Vermont high school championship tournament, which Otter Valley will host on Feb. 23 and 24. 

Whitney is the third OV wrestler to reach the 100-win plateau in the past two seasons, joining Tucker Babcock and Caleb Whitney from this past winter.
