Seven Decades of Wrestlers Celebrate Streak

McDonogh wrestlers from seven decades gathered in the Aarsand 1873 Room for a reunion luncheon on Thursday, April 23. The occasion marked the 60th anniversary of the end of the infamous 47-1 winning streak earned between 1950 and 1955. Current members of the wrestling team enjoyed swapping stories (and weights) with the wrestling alumni. Among the guests were three captains from the winning streak: Jim Turner ’50, Butch Schwab ’52 and Irv Naylor ’54.
