Several Chatham Wrestlers Medal at Kinnelon Colts Tournament; Mulcahy Takes Gold

Several JV and varsity wrestlers had medal-earning performances at the Colts Classic Wrestling Tournament held at Kinnelon High School on Saturday.

Leading the pack was Dylan Mulcahy, who took first at 132 pounds in what some may have considered to be an upset victory in the finals. Mulcahy beat Nick Carbonaro, a regional qualifier from Woodbridge last year, in a tightly contested bout that came down to the final 20 seconds when Mulcahy broke the tie and scored three near fall points. Mulcahy had several tough matches throughout the day, en route to his finals victory.

Also medaling for Chatham [Saturday] was Tom Penn who took second in the 285 weight class.

Justin Engel turned in a solid performance [Saturday], especially given he's wrestling up at 138 pounds. Justin took third place in that weight class.

Matt Grilli justed missed a third-place medal in the 106 weight class and ended up fourth place for 106.

JV wrestlers also wrestled well in the JV portion of the tournament. Manny Rodriguez took second place at 113 pounds and John Elmasri took third place at 126 pounds.

Several other Chatham wrestlers had solid wins and close losses on the day, but were unable to make it through to the medal rounds.
