Governor's Teams

The Governor’s Wrestling team enters the 2022-2023 season excited to build upon a successful 2021-2022 campaign.  Last season the team finished 7th overall at New Englands, including a second place finish in the Girl's Division and a second place finish in the Small School Division. 

The mission of Governor’s wrestling is to produce champions on and off the mat. We recognize that wrestling teaches lessons that help the athlete long after their final match. Approximately 60% of last year’s team had not wrestled prior to coming to Govs.

We will be led this year by Captains Patrick Manswell, Austin Edwards, and Amelia Barlow.  Ten Govs with New England experience return and will be joined by a group of talented newcomers eager to make a splash in Govs singlets. This is an exciting time to be on the mats in Byfield.

The coaching staff of Matt Hunt, Rod McLain, and Nathan Burke has combined for over 50 seasons on the mats as competitors and coaches. The coaching staff has a range of NCAA experience and maintain a passion for the sport. Former Governor’s wrestlers have gone on to wrestle at every level of the collegiate ranks. Our recently-renovated wrestling room features two full-sized mats and is a short walk from our state-of-the-art training room and weight area.
