Depth is a significant factor in all team sports and in wrestling it can not only lead a team to dual meet victories, it can also power a squad to tournament wins.

Displaying its depth at nearly every weight class, the Brunswick School wrestling team produced a lot of impressive performances en route to another memorable day at its own tournament.

Boasting four weight-class champions and plenty of top-four finishes, Brunswick was once again, second to none at its very own Brunswick Invitational Tournament on Saturday.

The Bruins amassed 405 team points to win the ultra-competitive 11-team tournament. Noble and Greenough was the tournament’s runner-up with 241 points, followed by Trinity-Pawling School (196), Episcopal Academy (188) and Greenwich High School (156.5 points). Greenwich Country Day School finished ninth with a team score of 61 points.

“It was awesome, every year coach says it’s a wrestling holiday,” Brunswick senior captain Tomas Delgado said. “We came out here, we got some fans and we got to wrestle three, four, five matches. One thing coach has us pride ourself on is wrestling back. We have two guys in every weight class, so that second guy if you wrestle back, you get just as many points if you are pinning guys and winning matches.”

Senior Enzo Vera (138-pound class), freshman Alex Harned (144-pound division), freshman Carlo Tucci (157) and Delgado (190) each won their respective weight classes at Saturday’s BIT.

Brunswick’s first weight class title came in the 138-pound weight class. Vera defeated Greenwich High School junior Thomas Andruss by pinfall in the championship match 3:03 The top-seeded Vera received a first-round by and posted a 3-0 record in the tournament. He pulled out a tough victory against Max Dubner of Greenwich Country Day School in the semifinals after trailing 11-5 in the third period.

“The first two rounds went pretty smoothly, then I went down 11-3 and got a pin late in the third,” Vera said of his semifinal-round match. “The finals, I got an early shot in and got a pin in the second.”

“I have got to give credit to the coaches, they put in a great game plan, we work on pinning every day,” Vera continued. “Coach O gives us great opportunities, a great game plan. Everyone was out here giving it their all, wrestling back when they lose, pinning and going for extra points. It’s always a pleasure going out there and competing as a team and winning a team championship.”

Andruss, one of Greenwich’s captains, finished with a 3-1 record in the Brunswick Invitational. Seeded third, Andruss pinned his Hopkins opponent in 3:31 in the semifinals.

“Going into this tournament, I didn’t know what to expect,” Andruss said. “I think I did very well, I went 3-1 today, which was nice. The experience was very nice. Just being in Greenwich and performing in town was a nice feeling.”

“I came out really excited after getting third last year and just wanting more this year,” Panarella noted. “I was really pumped up before the match. Especially after taking a tough loss on our team’s Senior Night the other day, I was really eager to do really well today.”

Panarella went 3-0 in the BIT, while Brunswick’s Christian Yanoti placed fourth in the 99-pound class.

“The championship match, I had an underhook headlock on him,” Panarella said. “I kept going on a move called cement mixer, but it wasn’t working out. I felt him aggressively driving to me and he was on his back for a while, then I just readjusted until he was flat on his back.”
