"It's time to pay tribute to Birmingham High senior Henry Aslikyan, who makes his bid for a fourth consecutive City Section wrestling championship on Saturday night at Roybal. No Birmingham athlete has won four individual titles. He has continued to get stronger, bigger and better from the time he arrived as a freshman. He's been dominating the City lower weight classes while becoming a two-time state champion."
"He'll be competing in perhaps the toughest weight class in the state - 120 pounds. He's a Michigan commit. There's likely to be three state champions in that weight class in two weeks in Bakersfield. Birmingham has already won City titles in boys' and girls' duals competition. This time he is qualifying for the state championships in Bakersfield and individual titles."
Henry Aslikyan, a Birmingham High senior, seeks a fourth consecutive City Section wrestling championship Saturday at Roybal. No Birmingham athlete has won four individual titles. He grew stronger and larger since freshman year, dominating lower weight classes and becoming a two-time state champion. He will compete at 120 pounds, a highly competitive weight class, and is committed to Michigan. That weight class may include up to three state champions at the upcoming Bakersfield meet. Birmingham already claimed City titles in boys' and girls' duals. Teammates Adelaida Fernandez, Greg Torosian and Arno Vardanyan pursue additional City crowns. Monroe's Abraham Datte is a two-time City champion.
