Hopkins will host over twenty schools from Connecticut and New York this Saturday in the Walter Camp Athletic Center for the 2015 Western New England Wrestling Championship. In its 58-year history, the Championship has been held at Hopkins many times. However, it has been a long time since the Hilltoppers have seized the title of Champions.
The tournament will begin around 9 a.m., although schools will begin arriving as early as 7:00 a.m. for the morning weigh-in. There is no doubt that there will be many exciting wrestlers from all over to watch. With five mats going continuously throughout the day, the action in the WCAC will be non-stop.
