Fair Lawn Junior Cutters take their 3rd title in as many years in their home gym.

Coming off a championship weekend in Montville last week the CUTTERS were riding high with emotion and left it all on the mats yesterday at the 13th Annual Jr. Cutter Classic Team Invitational.  In a tournament that hosted 38 state medalists from last year's USAWNJ State Championships this tournament has historically been billed one of the toughest team tournaments in Northern NJ and our Cutters didn't disappoint.

This year's Cutters came through with resounding resilience.  The team eventually ran away with the team title with 160 team points (118 for 2nd place Montville) but as many know the team title is not always won by the champions but rather the individual wins that we get in supporting roles.  This was no different this year.  Key advancement and bonus points scored by Eddie Guy, Tyler Tsai, Eric Checinski, Josh Wisse, Jake Sheiner, Chris Lydon and Ben Liss helped to further the lead our champions were posting.  Great job by all this weekend.

This year's Cutter Champions were:

80lb - Anthony Motta

100lb - Dylan Cedeno (first ever 4X Cutter Classic Champion from any town in tournaments history)

124lb - AJ Puerto

185lb - Jakob Shapiro

Medalists:

60lb - Eddie Guy 4th

70lb - Eric Checinski 2nd

85lb - Josh Wisse 3rd

147lb - Ben Liss 3rd
