Wrestling Takes Down Park

Thursday marked yet another first for the Belmont Day athletics program, as the wrestling team hosted its first interscholastic meet. Only four weeks into their inaugural season, the Blue & Gold impressed the home crowd by winning six of seven matches and recording five pins against Park. Belmont Day received strong performances up and down their roster including a gutsy 3-2 decision by sixth grader Christopher McEvoy and a first-period takedown and half nelson pin by eighth grader Philippe Pitts. It was seventh-grader Theo von Gottberg, however, who stole the show. Theo wrestled twice and won both his matches with first-period takedowns and pins, and was even able to impress his coaches with a well-executed cross face cradle in his second match. Collectively, the team represented Belmont Day with pride and successfully began a new chapter for Belmont Day athletics. Next week the squad will travel to Fenn.
