Wake Forest rugby recruit Tyler Vanston scored three tries yesterday in leading his East Mecklenburg High School Rugby Team to the North Carolina U-19 Division II Championship. East Meck defeated the Raleigh Rattlesnakes 41-12 to claim the title. Vanston, a senior outside center, will be attending Wake Forest in the fall. Wake Forest Director of Men's Rugby Patrick Kane, who was in attendance at the match said of Vanston's performance, "The three tries scored by Tyler were certainly impressive, but was stood out most was his defense. He didn't miss a single tackle and every one was made with textbook form. He will certainly factor into our first side backline when he arrives here in the fall."
East Meck wins its first state championship after having opened its season in the first weekend of March with a second place finish at the inaugural Wake Forest High School Rugby Showcase. Unionville High in Pennsylvania, who defeated East Meck in the Showcase final, has also had a spectacular season, running through league play undefeated. Unionville plays in the Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union Semifinals today against State College High School.
