Harlem qualified 7 for the big dance in 2023 and 4 return looking to make the podium in 2024. The Bulldogs have a nice mix of both upper and lower classmen and should be solid throughout the lineup. Honestly - this team has shown they can get a significant number through to Macon … it is getting wins and making the podium that is the next step. Ryan Rector and Chase Bisel both return and will be looked upon to lead this squad in 23-24. Max Maya and Landen Moore also qualified in 2023 as freshmen and will look to take that next step in their sophomore campaigns. Melvin Carrasquillo, Tahji Hale, and Conner McCustian all qualified for sectionals last year … punching their ticket to Macon is next on their list. Keep an eye on a quartet of sophomores that will look to step in and make some noise in Hunter Steinbeck, Chase Famansili, Corbin Cooper, and Jayden Moss. The Bulldogs have an opportunity to equal or better their 7 qualifiers from a year ago, but some new faces will need to step up if that is going to happen. - SEWrestle
