Chris Catania is soon to become a senior at Edgewood High School. He is a well-rounded athlete that participates in different sports and is a good student. His favorite subject is Science and his least favorite is English. If his sports activities had to be pared down to just one sport he would choose wrestling over football. He has been wrestling for about 10 years and gets great self-satisfaction from the efforts, win or lose.
