Lowell Wins Natick JV Wrestling Tourney; Natick 2nd; Framingham 3rd: Highlights

NATICK, MA — Junior varsity wrestlers from Lowell, Massachusetts, Natick, Concord, New Hampshire, and other communities had a good day of bouts on Saturday at the 28th annual Natick JV Tournament.

Nearly 20 schools participated in hundreds of bouts at the event. Organizers used the “Madison Weight System,” which sets up brackets with a spread of weight settings instead of one specific weight class. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors were in one class of wrestlers, while eighth-graders and freshmen were in another. Some girls also wrestled in the two sets of classes, while others chose to wrestle against boys.

For the 10th to 12th grade boys, Lowell High School racked up 208.5 points to win the division. Host Natick came in second, while Concord placed third, one point behind Natick.

Springfield Central was fourth, Framingham came in fifth, Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical School placed sixth, Winchester was seventh, New North was eighth, Canton was ninth, and Roxbury Latin was 10th. Worcester Tech, Lincoln-Sudbury, Milton, South Shore Regional Vocational Technical School, Somerset Berkley Regional High School, Waltham, and Weymouth rounded out the bottom 10.

In the 8th to 9th brackets for boys, Natick placed first with 178.5 points, Weymouth came in second, and Winchester third. Springfield Central was fourth, Concord fifth, Walpole sixth, Framingham seventh, New North came in eighth, Lowell was ninth, and Roxbury Latin 10th. Lincoln-Sudbury, South Shore, Worchester Tech, Tri-County, Somerset Berkley, Canton, Milton, and Waltham rounded out the fields.

For the 10th to 12th grade girls, Lowell placed first, Framingham second, and Springfield third, followed by Tri-County, Newton North, South Shore, and Worcester Tech.
