Achieving second place finishes were Austin Teece and Che Chengsupanamit. Robert George, Jon Flores, Kevin Herrera. Angelo Ferrara earned a fourth place finish.

Although the numbers of participants at this year’s tournament were fewer, the competition was as strong as it’s ever been. With help from Athletic Director extraordinaire, Rachel Horn, the tournament was a resounding success. Former Eaglebrook wrestling coach Clay “Big E” Elliott was in attendance to watch his formers wrestlers on the mats. Current Eaglebrook wrestling head coach Chris Horn said of the tournament that it was “Very well run, and it brings positive exposure to Eaglebrook and its wrestling program. Wrestling is a relatively young sport in New England, so any time you can get a lot of mat time, it is a good thing.”
