East Rochester piled up a record 120 points, and easily walked off with the Monroe County Wrestling League team championship on the winner's mats in a two-day display of muscle which ended yesterday.

The Bombers placed five champions, Pittsford and Webster two each, Spencerport, Brighton and Eastridge one apiece.

Biggest upset of the meet occurred in semifinal action when defending 183-pound champ Pete LoCastro of East Rochester lost, 16-3. Tommy Vergo, however, recouped in some measure by grabbing the tourney trophy with the quickest pin (53 seconds) to win the heavyweight crown. Vergo has only one loss - in the Section 5 finals last year - in a four-year career with the East Rochester team.

Two sophomores made it - John Kreeling, 98-pounder from Webster - and Pittsford 106-pounder Tommy Cook. Six 1961 champs again went all the way. Only LoCastro and Dave Sirano of East Rochester failing to make the grade this time around.
