RL Places Second in Graves-Kelsey ISL Championship Tournament

On February 11, Roxbury Latin’s wrestlers headed to BB&N in Cambridge to compete in this winter’s Graves-Kelsey Tournament—the Independent School League wrestling championships, named for long-time and legendary coaches Bert Kelsey of Roxbury Latin, and Gibby Graves of Buckingham Browne & Nichols.

Earning an impressive second finish overall in a field of 13 teams (falling only to nationally-ranked Belmont Hill School), Roxbury Latin’s wrestlers exhibited dedication and toughness in a collective effort, with the following wrestlers placing in their respective weight classes:

1st place: Justin Lim (III)

2nd place: Charlie Holt (V), Dovany Estimphile (II), Aydin Hodjat (II), Declan Bligh (IV)

3rd place: Benji Macharia (III), Navid Hodjat (IV), Justin Shaw (I), Nick Consigli (II)

4th place: Noah Abdur Rahim (III), Isaac Frehywot (III)

6th place: Arjun Bose (I)

Also contributing to the day’s success were Thomas Savage (I) and Auden Duda (IV).

格雷夫-凯尔西锦标赛是为了纪念吉比-格雷夫和伯特-凯尔西而于1966年命名的。伯特在1937年至1966年期间担任罗克斯伯里拉丁学校的摔跤教练，赢得了24个胜利的赛季和许多个人冠军。他是英语和辩论的大师，他的精力和善良的天性使他受到数百名学生的喜爱。吉比-格雷夫是白金汉-布朗和尼科尔斯的长期教练，也是发展联盟锦标赛的先驱。自1966年以来，罗克斯伯里拉丁语学校已经20次获得了格拉夫-凯尔西冠军的称号。
