Woodbridge wrestled Fairfax High School in a dual meet on Wednesday, January 13th for senior night.  Max Rigtrup, Tyler Javonillo and Anthony Blocker were honored as they near the end of their high school wrestling careers.  The match had a disappointing end with a  47 - 29 loss in a match-up in which both teams were missing a number of their starters due to injury.  Winning matches for the Vikings were Trey Purnell, Evan Greenleaf, Greg Nelson and Anthony Blocker all by pin and Deandre Rodriguez by technical fall.

With 4.8 seconds left in its Cardinal District contest at Woodbridge Tuesday, the Gar-Field boys basketball team prepared to inbound the ball at its offensive end trailing by a point. The Indians had a play set up to get the ball to its top player, senior Jeremiah Johnson.  But as was the case for much of the night, the Woodbridge defense did not cooperate. The Vikings deflected the inbounds pass to Johnson and Darius Smith flung it to the far end of the court as time expired to give host Woodbridge a hard-fought 38-37 victory.

The Vikings participated in the Patriot Classic wrestling tournament at Northern High School in Owings, MD.  on January 8 - 9, 2010.  Traveling with just ten wrestlers due to some nagging injuries, the Vikings still managed to place fourth out of 20 teams in the tournament.  Deandre Rodriguez pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament with a 5-4 victory in the final over Annandale's Jon Le.  Wrestling from the 6th seed position, Deandre defeated the 3rd, 2nd and 1st seeds in order.  Anthony Blocker won a close 5 -3 match against Annandale's Stacey Anderson to win the 171 pound title.  Evan Greenleaf pinned Danny Lee of Walt Whitman in 43 seconds to win the 215 pound title.  Evan now has 21 victories for the season - all by pin!  Greg Nelson was runner-up in perhaps the toughest weight division in the tournament, losing in the finals to Maryland state placer and now four time Patriot Classic Champion, Quentin Leadbeter.  Also placing for the Vikings were Cody Zeman at 160 (4th),  Trey Purnell at 189 (5th) and Tyler Javonillo at 135 (6th).
