Tabor Academy will host the 68^th annual New England Independent School Wrestling Championship on Friday, Feb. 20 and Saturday, Feb. 21.

Approximately 280 wrestlers, representing 50 New England independent schools, will compete for All New England status and a chance to qualify for the Prep National Tournament held annually at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.

While this is the first time Tabor has had the opportunity to host the New England Tournament, the Tabor wrestling program has won four team titles in the tournament and 33 individual awards. Last winter, the Seawolves placed third in this event.

On Friday, wrestling will be from 5 to 9 p.m. and will continue on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Tabor’s Fish Center for Health and Athletics at 256 Front St.

The public is welcome. For further information, contact Conan Leary at Cleary@taboracademy.org.
