Minutemen Youth Wrestling

The Minutemen traveled to Bristol Eastern for the second tournament of the young season.  The twelve morning wrestlers had a good day on the mats bringing home many medals.  The individual results were; Mighty Mite Tyler Ebrahimi went 3-1 to place 2nd, Bantams Nivmaly and Maleeh Rios both placed 4th, the largest group of wrestlers were the Intermediates with Austin Testi and Nicky Ebrahimi placing 1st, Elijah Ortiz, Mason Hill, Julian Shaw placing first and Mason Arborio, Cayden Hill, Mi'Angel Velazquez, Hiram Sepulveda all placing third.  For Velazquez and Sepulveda this was their first tournament ever.

In the afternoon session there were two Minutemen who competed in the Novice Division.  Landon Vieira placed second and Johnny Rosario placed 3rd.

The coaches on the day were Dan Harding, Mark Mangiafico and Roger Moss who all were pleased with the efforts of the group.  Coach Harding said, "I was impressed with Landon's performance today.  He was trying to use a leg move that we had just taught him on Friday so it was good to see his effort.  He really has come along nicely so far this season."  Coach Moss added, "I think one of our most improved wrestlers today was Elijah Ortiz.  He was in a tough bracket and never gave up.  He improved on the mat and medal stand over last week."
