Team CT did well in the first event of three this year, taking 9th in a field of 16 at the Tyrant Duals in Wilmington Delaware. After wrestling the NJ Stars, who finished 2nd overall, Team CT took on another team from NJ, Phoenix, who finished 5th overall. (This is known as a 'tough pool!' ) Team CT wrestled some of the best wrestlers in the East 'dog tough', to quote the NJ Stars coach. After beating Tyrant Grey to secure third place in our pool, Team CT took on the other third place teams, defeating Tyrant Blue
and the Warhawks soundly to end the day at 3-2 and in 9th place, out of 16 teams.
