The House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring Eddie Kessen for his achievement as the 2025 Division III State Wrestling Champion in the 138-pound weight class. A student at St. Johns High School, Kessen demonstrated exceptional talent and sportsmanship throughout the wrestling season, culminating in a narrow victory over a competitor from Lima Central Catholic High School with a score of 7-6 in the championship match. His dedication and hard work have not only led to this significant accomplishment but have also made him a role model for his peers.
The resolution emphasizes the pride Kessen's achievements bring to his family, teammates, coaches, school, and community. It acknowledges the importance of athletic competition in the education of young people and expresses confidence that the skills and experiences Kessen has gained through wrestling will serve him well in future endeavors. The House extends its best wishes for his continued success and plans to send a certified copy of the resolution to Kessen as a formal recognition of his accomplishments.
