The Berlin Minutemen had high hopes of improving on last year number of champions which was five as they sent 21 individuals to Hillhouse Fieldhouse, in New Haven for the CT Kids State Championships.
First year wrestler Matthew Peck brought home 2nd place in the 42 lb. Mighty Mite Division, Also placing 2nd but in the Bantam Division was Michael Patterson at 56 lb. Placing 3rd in Bantam Division was Nicholas Zuk at 81 lbs. In the Midget Division Riley Greider and Sean Sullivan both placed 3rd. Sean Sullivan had three pins on the day.
In the Novice Division, Last year's champion Jacob Eliades - 80lbs. placed 2nd, Nick Mangiafico 90 lbs. 4th place, Wotjus Zak - 95 lbs. 3rd place and Brendan Butler - 105 lbs. 3rd place. Wrestling tough on the day but not placing were Matt Cote - 70 lbs, Richie Schlighting - 75 lbs., Colin Cunninghamgham and Todd Koops - 85 lbs.,
In the Middle School Division for 7 and 8 graders, Tyler Cunningham lost 2-1 in the final against the same wrestler he lost to at the Qualifier a week earlier to place 2nd in the 100 lb division. Mason Powers lost in the quarter-finals 4-1 in Overtime to the eventual champion but came back and placed 3rd in the tough 137 lb weight class.
In the highly competitive Middle School Division those who did not place on the day were Carla Mangiafico and Shawn Sullivan - 85 lbs., Sean Pentalow - 90 lbs., Ali Sullivan 95 lbs., Will Matuszak 105 lbs. and Ryan Butler 110 lbs.
The lone champion for the Minutemen this year was four time champion Jeremy Eliades. "Jeremy has wrestled tough the entire year and done a good job adjusting his wrestling as he gets older and competes against better competition", state head coach Roger Moss.
Moss went on to say, "This year we had over 50 boys and two girls in the youth program. This is the largest number of participants in the history of the program. Each year the competition we wrestle gets better and better and that only means that we must progress our abilities to prepare for the ultimate level of competition when they reach high school and possibly beyond." Moss also said, "Finally, I would like to thank all the parents who were involved with the club this year. They were all great to work with and it was a pleasure to coach their children." Assistant Coaches for the program this year included: Mark Mangiafico, Jerry Greider, Lou Eliades, Tim Sullivan and Mike Cunningham.
