The Middlesex wrestling team is really progressing now.  With improvements in all the weight classes, the line-up has gone from youth, to a formidable group.  The young wrestlers have excelled in practice and the upper classmen are putting all the hard work and technique together. Captains Robert '13, Thad '13, and Tae '14 have stepped forward to lead this team both in the practice room and at competitions. Fantastic leadership men!

With a fired up visiting team, it would seem that the competition was expecting to pull off a victory at 1400 Lowell Rd.  The historic wrestling room began to whisper the chant of previous captains...Focus on your skills...Focus on your balance... Focus on your speed.....Several people stopped talking to hear the faint voices, but only the wrestlers could hear them over the din of chatter. And with a comeback victory from Andrew '16, it was just the sign that the voices had been heard...
Down 10 to seven, Andrew reversed his opponent and added three back points to pull off the 12-10 upset with seconds remaining on the clock. 

 Following a tough loss at 160lbs, John S. '15 showed his agility and had a great step-up takedown with a fall at 170lbs.  Captain Thad '13 mastered his opponent with a technical fall and a 15 point margin of victory, fantastic strength!
Steven '15 added balance and attack to secure the pin at 220lbs, (up one weight class) to take on a very athletic wrestler from BCD school.With a victory by Tae '14, and a few forfeits, the Middlesex team dominated the afternoon.

Congratulation to all and keep up the good work.
