Andrew Nealan, New Richmond High School junior, is Clermont County’s only 2008 state wrestling qualifier returning for another season of competition.

Last year Nealan achieved a very impressive 41-12 record. He earned Southern Buckeye Conference all-star honors in addition to achieving Division II all-district laurels and he was champion of the Division II sectional tournament.

He competed in the 160-pound weight class.

“I love wrestling. It’s been a life-long thing for me and I love the one-on-one competition with having my strengths and weaknesses against someone else’s.
