Brunswick School - Courage, Honor, Truth

Wrestling

The Brunswick Wrestling program is a team marked by excellence, discipline, and character. Fed by a thriving Middle School program for 7th and 8th graders, all Upper School wrestlers train together throughout the winter in the Ostrye Wrestling Gymnasium. The plaques and banners lining the walls speak to the successes of past Bruin wrestlers. Brunswick has dominated league competition, winning 27 out of the last 28 F.A.A Championships. Under Coach Ostrye's tenure, the team has captured 9 Western New England Championships.

The Brunswick Wrestling team took first place in the 2011 Brunswick Invitational Tournament under the guidance of coaches Tim Ostrye, Bob Benjamin, John Martin and Neil Minsky.

2009/10

With only five seniors on the roster, the 2009-2010 varsity wrestling team looked to be in the midst of a youth movement. Despite consistently having six freshmen and sophomores in the starting lineup, the Bruins grappled their way to an overall season record of 21-3 while also winning the Brunswick Invitational Tournament, the FAA league championship meet, and the WNEISWA (state) tournament.

Team captains, Matt Wales and Cliff Simmons, along with fellow seniors Andrew Cohen, Ben Galef and Peter Kiernan, deserve tremendous credit for getting the younger team members ready to compete at the varsity level. Wales and Simmons definitely set the tone for the Bruins all season, both winning their respective weight classes at the B.I.T. as well as at F.A.A.s and WNEISWAs. Junior Corey Kupersmith also won his weight class at the WNEISWA meet, while fellow juniors Patrick Wales and Alex Marcus finished in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The captains continued to set the tone, even at the New England meet, with Cliff Simmons taking 3rd place overall, and Matt Wales finishing 4th overall after losing in overtime in the semifinal match. Patrick Wales and Petey Briggs also placed at the WNEPSWA meet, finishing 4th and 8th respectively.

Because of the depth of their lineup, impeccable senior leadership, and the talent and guidance of coaches Tim Ostrye, Bob Benjamin, John Martin and Neil Minsky, the 2009-2010 team enjoyed tremendous success.
