NEW LONDON, Conn. – Another Castleton University wrestler has earned weekly recognition from the New England Wrestling Association as Haven Tatarek was recently named the NEWA Wrestler of the Week.
 
Tatarek helped Castleton to a pair of wins at the recent Little East Quad by going 2-0 at 197 pounds. His wins came over Rhode Island College and the University of Southern Maine, the first of which was a pin and the second a decision.
