Grapplers Take Third at Loomis Duals
Brunswick won three of four team matches in the Loomis Holiday Duals, earning a third-place finish in the eight-team event on Saturday at Loomis Chaffee. The Bruins topped the host school and Lawrenceville before falling to Northfield Mount Hermon. Brunswick, the winners last year, finished the tourney by besting Trinity-Pawling for third place.
In the eight-team format, the squads are divided into Pool A and Pool B. Within the four team pools, each team wrestles dual meets against the other three teams in the pool. In the finals, teams "cross-over" to wrestle for 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th places against teams from the other pool.
