NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Timberlane wrestling team celebrated Senior Night for the second time last night. With a little help from junior star Zach Bridson, who finished third at 112 after a heartbreaking loss in the semifinals, the Owls cemented their way into the record books by capturing their fourth straight New England title. Until last year, no team had ever won more than two straight crowns.
