If you ask Jason Richey, the wrestling coach will tell you that Quaker Valley Youth Wrestling is dominating the local wrestling scene. The first-year program has grown in size and ability over the course of the year with more than 40 local wrestlers ranging from ages 5 to 12 enrolled in the Quaker wrestling program. Of the 42 wrestlers, only the captains—John Rocco Kazalas, Jack Kazalas and Justin Richey—have any previous experience. "Often a lot of the other coaches come up to me at the end of an event and say there is no way all of your kids are first year wrestlers, but I tell them they are," Coach Jason Richey said in a news release.

A new area track-and-field team for athletes with disabilities hopes to compete in national championships.
For one Crescent Township mother, the inspiration came last summer. In July, Darla Clayton's 8-year-old son, Trent, who has cerebral palsy, competed in the 2011 National Junior Disability Championships as a runner. Since Trent took up running, Clayton said she has watched her son flourish. At the championships, Trent competed as an independent athlete. "But he said he wanted to be on a team.

Clayton and her family began the Strong As Steel team after searching the Pittsburgh area for an adaptive track and field team where her son could train with other young athletes. Clayton hopes to encourage other area athletes with …
