Governor’s Wrestling strives to produce champions both on and off the mat. The coaching staff believes that wrestling teaches lessons that support student-athlete development long after the season’s final match. Wrestling at Governor’s is open to all athletes. In recent years, over half of the roster had no prior wrestling experience.
It is an exciting time to be on the mats in Byfield! Last season the team finished 5th (of 13 teams) in the Graves-Kelsey Tournament (ISL), and at New Englands, the boys team placed 19th (of 41 teams) and the girls team placed 7th (of 20 teams).
The coaching staff has combined for over fifty seasons on the mats as competitors and coaches. With a strong passion for growing the sport, the staff has a range of NCAA competing and coaching experience. 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 located in the same building as our sports medicine facility and the Alfond Fitness Center & Weight Room.
