CLASS LL
-Three first place finishes, three third places finishes, a fourth, a fifth and a sixth is how Xavier won their first ever state championship in wrestling and beat Danbury (a 1st, 3rd, 4th, four 5ths and two 6ths), the team that has won the Class LL meet every year since 1996 (literally a lifetime for some of these kids).  South Windsor had a very nice showing as well with two first place winners and three second place winners but besides that only a sixth place finish; if they could put up some more even decent wrestlers this may have been their championship.  Nonetheless, congratulations to the Xavier Falcons and Coach Mike Cunningham (Tyler is his son and one assistant coach is his father)!
