Bristol Eastern wrestling is one of the state’s premier programs. The Lancers have won back-to-back Class L state championships and have been victorious in their last 48 dual meets.
Eastern coach Bryant Lishness added a personal milestone on Wednesday evening in a 73-6 win over Platt at Bristol Eastern High School. Lishness picked up his 200th career dual meet victory, according to a tweet from Marisa Calvi-Rogers, principal of Bristol Eastern. That win was the 48th straight in the dual meet streak.
