3/4: NJSIAA STATE TOURNAMENT
CBA (5 Medal Winners)
For the 2nd straight season, the Colts had 5 medal winners down in Atlantic City, which is the program high. Senior Zander Silva made it to the finals of the 157-pound bracket, dropping a 5-2 decision. It was the 2nd State medal of Silva's career, giving him a 2nd and a 3rd (2022). It caps off a run with the Colts that also saw Silva win a pair of Region Titles, and 3 District Titles. Next up for Silva is Princeton in the fall.

Senior Julian George and junior Alex Nini won their 3rd State medals with both wrestlers finishing 3rd at their weights, Nini at 138, and George at 144. George wrapped up his run with the Colts with an 8th place medal in 2021, a 2nd place medal in 2022, and this year's 3rd. A 3-time Region, and 2-time District Champ, George finished with 123 career wins, putting him 4th on the all-time wins list at CBA. He will continue his career on the mat at Wisconsin next year.

Senior Tyler Barrett closed his career with his 2nd State medal, finishing in 8th place at 150. He finished 3rd at this weight last season. A 2-time Region and 3-time District champion, Barrett is headed to the Ivy League next year as he attends Columbia.

The Colts' fifth medal winner was another senior, Rob Canterino, who took 8th at 215. Canterino is just the 2nd Colt all-time to win a medal at the 215/220 or above weight class. Another of the group of 4-year starters that will be graduating this June, Canterino will continue his career at Davidson.
