Hayfield hosted the 5th annual Battlefield Duals over the weekend.  The tournament was named the toughest event in the Washington metropolitan area, and one of the premier high school wrestling events in the country.  The tournament was won by 18x Virginia AAA State Champions Great Bridge, followed by Christiansburg, and Colonial Forge.  The MatHawks finished in 8th place overall.

The MatHawks started day one going 0-3, dropping matches to Pennsylvania's Waynesburg, and Upper Perkiomen (ranked 3rd in PA, and 16th Nationally), and to Colonial Forge (ranked 2nd VA, and 36th Nationally).  On day two, Hayfield went 3-2 with wins over Stonewall Jackson, Hammond (MD), and Lake Braddock.  The MatHawks finished the event with loses to Connellsville (PA), and region rival Westfield.

Ray Borja (103 lb) was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler for the MatHawks.  Borja went 8-0 over the two days with four pins, one technical fall, and three decisions.

The MatHawks will travel next to Liberty, NY to compete at the Eastern States Classic.
