Chase Homan wins Wrestler of the Year

On April 6, 2025, Chase Homan, a junior at Hamburg Area High School won Berks County wrestler of the year. After achieving this great accomplishment, he feels excellent and is very proud of himself. He explains that “the feeling doesn’t get much better.”
To win this title, wrestlers must have a great performance overall. To prepare for something like this, Chase would do two to three training sessions daily, pushing himself to his absolute limits with 100% effort. He did this, trying to catch up with everyone, with four weeks to prepare due to an injury setback. “When I was injured, I did everything that I could to stay ready. I had to endure the toughest things while no one was looking to accomplish this goal for myself,” Chase explained.
Chase celebrated this big win with his family, who know how much it means to him and how much work he put in to achieve it. Looking ahead, Chase has big goals for himself. “I want to become a state champion in my senior year, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill this goal. I want to be the first wrestling state champ for our school. Then, I want to compete in college at the highest level.”
