He’s One of the Best, Working to Get Better--River Journal — April 1, 2024

“Henry Martin stands out not just on the wrestling mat but also in life. Known for his exceptional skills as a wrestler, he’s more than just his athletic prowess,” says William Thom, Interim Athletic Director at Croton-Harmon High School, where Henry is in the Class of 2025.

Henry’s 7th place finish in the recent All-State finals is the best showing ever statewide for a Croton-Harmon grappler. A staggering 42-3 won-loss mark this past regular season is another school record Henry owns. He was a Con Edison Athlete of the Month. Now in his third year of wrestling, he also played linebacker on the football squad as a freshman and sophomore.

He’s also dedicated to community service, particularly as a Boy Scout, which he’s been since age 8. Henry is in the process of completing his Eagle Scout project by constructing an outdoor educational platform at Teatown Lake Reservation. He also volunteers for numerous civic organizations, including Lions Club, Croton Food Bank, Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church and Asbury United Methodist Church.

Then there’s Henry the scholar, with a 3.6 unweighted GPA (grade point average). READ ANDS EE MORE AT He’s One of the Best, Working to Get Better – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill
