LNR Wrestlers Claim CAL Championship for 2nd Straight Year - Win CAL/NEC Tournament

It took North Reading 22 years and Lynnfield 21 years to re-capture the Cape Ann League wrestling championship in 2013; but it only took one year for the co-op team to win the honor again by beating Georgetown 57-9 last Wednesday’s dual meet at Lynnfield HS making back-to-back championships.  The win against Georgetown makes the Black and Gold 5-0 in CAL league dual meets and 22-0 overall extending a 47 dual meet winning streak dating back to the beginning of the 2012-2013 season.
