METHUEN, Mass. -- Taconic senior Dylan Burke went 3-0 on Saturday to win third place at 195 pounds at the All-State Wrestling Championships at Methuen High School.

 

Burke started the second day of the tournament in the consolation bracket against Beverly’s Alexi Echevarria and earned a major decision by a score of 14-5.

There, he edged Shawn Conniff of King Philip, 6-5, to take the bronze.
