As the varsity wrestling season comes into full swing, Belmont Hill seems just as dominant as ever. While the team has lost some key starters from last year, new wrestlers have quickly risen to take their places including Brody Sayers ’28 at 106, Wesley Zu ’25 at 144, George Carroll ’25 at 150, Alex White ’25 at 190, Myles Beckett ’25 at 215, and Nick Fiumara ’25 at 285. Bolstering a 12-3 record, undefeated in ISL play, the team is eager for another ISL and New England title. So far, Belmont has handily beaten Governeror’s Academy, Thayer, BB&N, and Middlesex in the ISL alone. Furthermore, of the three losses, all of them were incredibly hard-fought and against top-notch competition. The most notable of these was against Blair Academy, widely lauded as the second-best high school wrestling team in the country.
Besides just dual matches, the team has also proven itself in tournaments, competing in the Germantown Tournament, the Skiff Mountain Scuffle, the Beast of the East Tournament, and the Battle of the Bay. Notable results include a first-place finish for Haden Bottiglieri ’24 at Germantown, where he pinned his opponent in the first minute.
Led by Belmont Hill’s talented coaching staff headed by Coach Bradley and captains Haden Bottiglieri ’24, Cord Vallis ’24, and Will Stewart ’24, this year is sure to be one of Belmont Hill’s best. If all goes according to plan, the Wrestling team will have another ISL title this year. The Panel Staff wishes the Varsity Wrestling team good luck with the rest of their season!
