Berlin Senior Max Fischer took home fourth place in the 152 pound weight class at the Class D Sectionals in Whitehall on Saturday. The top four wrestlers in each class advance to wrestle in the Section II Finals this Friday and Saturday in Glens Falls.

Fischer pinned his Albany Academy opponent midway through the second period of his first match, setting up a match, which he lost, against #1 seed and defending Section II champion David Adams from Salem. Fischer then defeated a Duanesburg wrestler to earn himself a spot in the final four.

Also doing well was Tim Chaudoin in the 285 weight class. Chaudoin beat his opponent from Whitehall by pinning him en route to a fifth place finish. He will advance to Glens Falls because one of the top four wrestlers will not participate. RJ Hebert also won his first match with an 11-6 decision before falling to eventual champion John Diekel of Whitehall. In the consolations, Hebert lost by one point to Matt Casullo of Berne Knox, ending his run for Glens Falls.
