The winter sports season hosts its first championship this week as the wrestling dual-team event begins Wednesay and concludes Saturday. Salesianum is in contention in Division I.
Basketball continues toward the postseason. There are just two full weeks of games remaining, then a few days after that before seeds are determined and travel plans finalized. And with the swimming and diving championships are just a few weeks away, teams are wrapping up the regular season.
