The Inaugural Capital Duals were held at St. John’s College High School this weekend. Nine teams from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. participated.
Georgetown Prep won the inaugural team championship with Boy’s Latin of Baltimore and St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes rounding out the top three teams.
In one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament Maryland No. 7-ranked Skip Newberger beat Maryland No. 13-ranked Giancarl Zerega.
In other action, Maryland No. 6-ranked Junior Monzey of Georgetown Prep and defending D.C. City Champion & National Prep Qualifyer Alec Regulinski battled into three overtimes in one of the most exciting matches of the day. Monzey won by decision on a penalty point awarded by the referee when Regulinski did not bring him back down to the mat within the required five seconds.
Each wrestler who went undefeated by winning all four matches of the tournament also received individual trophy awards.
