In one of the most competitive wrestling tournaments in the nation, two CBA Colts took home medals.

Junior Julian George and sophomore Alex Nini both placed third in their respective weight classes at the Beast of the East Tournament, held at the University of Delaware.

At 138 pounds, George made a run as the 58th seeded wrestler in that class. He defeated opponents ranked seventh, 39th, 23rd, as well as a win over the 2nd seeded wrestler from Florida. After falling in the semifinals, he defeated Delbarton's Alessio Perentin to finish third.

Nini was ranked fifth in the 120 pound class. His lone loss came against Blair Academy's Marc-Anthony McGowan, a semifinal match that went to double overtime. Nini finished third by defeating Mount Saint Joseph (Md.)'s Coleman Nogle.

The Colts sent two other wrestlers to the Beast of the East, as senior Garrett Totten went 2-2 at 126 pounds and Tyler Barrett went 4-2 at 152 pounds.

Meanwhile back in Lincroft, CBA hosted a modified Colt Classic Tournament, where eight wrestlers earned medals. The day was highlighted by junior Rob Canterino winning his 215 pound weight class.
