The only two time state qualifier in school history, Adam Duke would be on the short list of Midview’s finest wrestlers.

Coached by Phil Gregor, the 98lb. freshman posted a 16-7 record including a first at the Vermilion tournament and a second at the Lorain County Conference Tournament and a third at the Lorain County All-Stars Tournament.

A new season and the same weight class brought first place finishes at the Columbia, Erie Shore Conference and County All Stars tournaments. A third at the prestigious Brunswick and District tournaments bumped his sophomore record to 21-4-1.

Moving up to 103 pounds as a junior, Adam’s record improved as expected, placing first in the Valley Forge, Brunswick, Columbia and Erie Shore Conference tournaments. After finishing second at the sectional tournament, he placed first at the District Tournament in Mentor often referred to as “the meat grinder”. Finishing fourth at State, he culminated a 31-3 record with a first at the County All-Star tournament. As a senior, Adam wrestled in the 112 pound weight class and finished fourth in the Brunswick tournament and recorded first place finishes at the Valley Forge, Columbia and Erie Shore conference tournaments. In the Erie Shore conference tournament, he defeated Southview’s Uland Robinson to become one of only two three time Conference Champions. He then proceeded to breeze through the sectional and district tournaments and qualified for the state tournament for the second time, after which he placed first in the Greater Cleveland East/West All Star tournament. His 23-4-1 record his senior year and 91-18-2 for his career helped to earn him a full scholarship to Eastern Michigan University where he wrestled every year and his seven second pin in one match was the fastest in school history.
