Springfield Wrestling Team Hitting The Mats At Non-Stop Pace

Members of the Springfield VT Wrestling Team have been hitting the mats at a non-stop pace! Several weeks ago, the JH/HS crew hosted a four-team quad meet on their home turf, facing down Newport NH as well as Fair Haven and Mill River teams from Vermont. Next several members of the youth team rolled into Milton VT to test their mettle and see who would qualify to compete at Youth New England Championships in mid-March - sixth grader Braydon Rumrill made the grade and will be heading to Danvers MA for that tournament.

Most recently, the boys of the JH/JV team competed at the State Championship Tournament in Barre VT and truly "left it all on the mats"! Several Cosmos wrestlers earned a spot on the podium, including 7th grader Hunter Ferland coming in a solid 4th place; 2nd place medals went to Noah Markwell (7th grade), Cole Wright (9th grade), and Bryan Stafford (10th grade). Leading the day were 7th grade spit-fire Dillan Lacasse nailing a solid 1st place, and 10th grader Tim Amsden, battling his way to the champ spot and earning the very special Outstanding Wrestler award.

Also competing were John Jasinski (7th grade), 8th graders Armando Stettner and Marshall Simpson, and freshman David Rigney. Coaches were extremely proud of all the wrestlers, who showed grit, determination, and terrific improvement.

Next up: Varsity State Championships! Stay tuned to the action on FaceBook by following the team's page at Springfield VT Wrestling.
