Former East Wrestler Hetag Pliev Captures Silver Medal

 

2002 graduate a strong contender for 2008 Olympics

Former Lakota East wrestling standout Hetag Pliev (Class of 2002) recently captured a Silver Medal at the Canadian Nationals.

Pliev’s only loss was to David Zilberman, a three-time Canadian National Champion (5th in the 2006 World Championships).  Pliev’s accomplishment is noteworthy as this was a World/Olympic level championship event. 

Pliev was a two-time state champion at East and was voted Ohio's Most Outstanding Wrestler.  During his high school career he compiled an amazing record of 74-1 and was the #1 ranked 189-lb wrestler in the country in 2002.  In addition he was a Cadet National and USA Junior National Freestyle Champion and a NWCA Senior Nationals Champion. 

Hetag is considered a strong contender for a berth at the 2008 Olympics to be held in Beijing, China.  An article on Pliev’s background and wrestling career is posted at the following link: http://ossetians.com/eng/news.php?newsid=403&f=26&PHPSESSID=28d1156505a6.  For a complete profile of Hetag’s accomplishments at Lakota East go to the East Wrestling web site (www.eastthunderhawks.com) under the “Top Wrestlers” link.
