Brandon Santell and Jon Vellila split dutiers at 220 and heavyweight and both were undefeated and Eric Sanchez bumped up to 195 for a pin against standout Derek DiMascio to help Lawrence edge Wakefield 39-37 on its way to a quad-meet sweep to improve to 12-4 on the year. Also against Wakefield, freshman Angel Miranda had an impressive win at 182 in the win.  

 Salem won four of five meets at a super-quad meet at Wakefield, only dropping a 41-38 decision to Dedham.

Ryan O'Rourke and Josh Ozoria were 4-0 and both Martial Ngagchoua and Jared Law picked up their first varsity wins.

Methuen may not have quite the star power as in the past, but the Rangers still have solid depth as they showed Saturday by placing first in the Wakefield Tournament. 

The Rangers placed 12 wrestlers and came away with three champions among five finalists. Placing first for Methuen were sophomore Adam Rader, who had a first period pin in the 113-pound finals, 145-pounder Zabian Cruz and heavyweight Dereck Ramirez. Cruz is a repeat champ at Wakefield while Ramirez won his first crown.
