Chase Lind led the Falcons of Ludlowe by winning the Class L States at 152

pounds (4-0). Ludlowe placed 4th as a team which is Ludlowe's highest team

place ever. Last year the team finished 6th. For the second year in a row

George Wales, 120 pounds (3-1), made it to the finals but this year he finished

second instead of winning. George became the only two time finalist for

Ludlowe. Lee Stenild Johansen placed 3rd at 170 (5-1). Bobby Clark placed 4th

at 138 (3-2) and Billy Stapleton at 285 placed 6th (3-3). All 5 of these

wrestlers have qualified for the CT State open to be held at Hillhouse HS in

New Haven next week. Austin Sherman 113 (2-2), Zachary Taylor 106 (2-2), Nate

Nelson 182 (2-2), and Pat O'Donovan (1-2) also won matches to help Ludlowe

score points for the team. Ludlowe placed 4th as a team without one of their

best wrestlers Marcus Sherrod 145 whos was seeded 4th and would have almost

certainly finished in the top 4 which would have put the team well into 3rd

place. Chase become one of three Ludlowe wrestlers to win the Ls. The other two are

George Wales and Henry Fatigate.
