The Bishop Hendricken wrestling team coasted by its competition on Feb. 28 at the Providence Career and Technical Academy for a third straight state title.
The Hawks piled up a total of 276 points, nearly doubling up Cumberland in second place with 143.5 points.
Despite only winning two individual state titles – Cam Nappi at 106 and Jimmie Sauro at 182 – the Hawks put forth a tremendous all-around team effort.
In all, Hendricken came away with 13 medals out of 14 weight classes. Additionally, the Hawks placed seven wrestlers in the finals of their respective weight classes.
“It feels good,” Hendricken head coach Kevin Hennessey said. “It shows that the kids are putting in the time and the effort that they need to in order to perform at a high level. We’re satisfied.”
Hendricken’s great depth allowed it to take 11 wrestlers to the New England meet, as well, the most that a Hendricken team under Hennessey ever brought.
“We had seven guys in the finals and took 13 medals out of 14 wrestlers,” Hennessey said. “We’ll bring 11 guys to the New England’s, which is the most we’ve ever brought. Last year was the most, but this year surpassed that. The kids just need to keep working hard and striving to raise our goals.”
