The junior 133-pound wrestler and team captain recently won the prestigious War on the Shore Tournament in Ocean City, MD and has pinned 11 opponents en route to a 18-4 record. Last winter, he was a PIAA state qualifier at 127 pounds, posting a 32-6 record with 14 pins, finishing second at Sectionals and fifth at Regionals. As a freshman, he posted a 28-11 record with 19 pins and finished second at Sectionals. An all-around athlete, Warkentine has competed in varsity cross country and lacrosse for the Pioneers since his freshman year. Conestoga wrestling head coach Gary Baker said, “I have coached Miles since he started wrestling and continue to be amazed with his athleticism and drive for improvement. Our coaching staff stresses the importance of being in the present mindset with a simple goal of scoring the next point – regardless of the situation, and Miles exemplifies this in every match. The fact that he has obtained his success without ever wrestling in the off-season should put his opponents on guard, as he will do so for the first time this year. The only thing that surpasses his athletic ability and work ethic is his upstanding character.”
