LUVSANDORJ SHOWCASES TALENT

January 25, 2009

Turtgotokh Luvsandorj proved to the rest of New Jersey what followers of St. Benedict's knew all along – Gray Bees wrestlers are just as good as any the state has to offer.

Luvsandorj, a Prep All-American, made a point of that in Sunday's New Jersey Coaches All-Star Invitational when he went out and put forth a quality effort with a resounding, 5-2, verdict over Southern Regional's Brian Broderick.

Luvsandorj, who raised his record to 31-1 this season, was the first St. Benedict's wrestler to ever get a chance to compete in the invitation-only event.

"We should have had guys invited before this, but we're okay with that," said St. Benedict's coach Mike DiPiano, who had a large following in tow from Newark to take in the spectacle at the Shore. "Today, Turtotokh not only won for himself, but he showed the state what we're made of here at St. Benedict's and that we have a quality program."
