Providence — Fitch High School's Jarod Kosman completed his sophomore season by earning a medal at the New England Championship wrestling tournament on Saturday.

Kosman, wrestling at 106 pounds, placed fifth, defeating Jack Darling of Masconomet (Mass.) 2-1 in overtime in the 5th-6th consolation final. He was the only local wrestler to earn a medal. He began the day by losing in the quarterfinals, but bounced back to beat Ryan Garlitz of St. John's Prep (Mass.) 10-2 in the consolation quarters before losing to E.O. Smith's Rob Hartling in the consolation semifinals, 2-1, in a rematch of last week's State Open final.

Montville's Joel Morth (132) lost both of his matches on Saturday while Ledyard's Danny Contino (195) lost his only match in an elimination bout.
