Norwich grad Tristan Rifanburg wins award
BINGHAMTON – The Upstate New York Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame announced this week that Tristan Rifanburg of Norwich High School has been selected as the Outstanding Wrestler for the Upstate New York area for the 2014-’15 season.
Rifanburg, who will be attending and wrestling at Binghamton University next year under the guidance of Coach Matt Derlan, has had an outstanding career on and off the mat. He was a three-time Division II New York State Champion, two times a runner-up at the New York State championship, a six-time Section IV wrestling champion, and he accumulated many other honors during his wrestling career at Norwich High School.
The award is based on wrestling achievements, academic success in the classroom, character and community service, said Upstate New York Chapter president, Carl Koenig.
Rifanburg will receive the award at the Sept. 20, 2015 Upstate New York Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Double Tree Hotel in East Syracuse. Two other Norwich wrestling greats will be inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously as well – Frank Giltner, the first wrestling coach at Norwich, and legendary wrestling coach Sam Elia, who guided the Purple Tornado wrestlers during the 1940s through the early 1960s.
