Mazur was also 3-1 and had a great day as well, with two second period pins and then a 4-2 decision. However, Tommy took a tough loss in his finals, falling 9-0.
Tommy and Bryce also hit the 60-match mark, setting a Stamford Junior Wrestling single season record. Both wrestlers also won or placed in every tournament in which they competed this season. The boys will now start the hardest part of their year, when the Freestyle and Greco Roman seasons begins. Both styles are the most popular kinds of international wrestling and are used in the Olympics and world championships.
