LONDONDERRY, N.H. – The dominant force in New Hampshire Division I wrestling did not disappoint on Saturday.
The Salem High Blue Devils dominated the day with a pair of champs, three runners-up and 12 placers overall to roll to their second straight Division I state title.
Salem got championships from Dominic Murphy at 113 and Brody McDonald to easily outdistance itself from runner-up Timberlane Regional, 234-207.
The Owls, who had their streak of state team titles snapped by Salem a year ago, ended a mini-drought of their own when Ben Mann claimed the championship at 106 pounds. Last year at D-I states, Timberlane did not place one wrestler at the top of the podium.
Pinkerton Academy, which took fourth overall, had a pair of title winners in Camden Arbogast at 132 and Anthony Caruso at 215 pounds.
Windham High, which finished seventh, saw Constantine Isaac take home the gold at 165.
Pelham High traveled to Bow for the Division III states and came home in second, behind the host team.
The Pythons claimed a pair of individual titles with Liz Donovan winning at 126 pounds and Michael Harrington cruising to the 144-pound championship.
