Pittsfield's Zabion Powell pinned four opponents to win the 130-pound title at the Youth New Englands Wrestling Championships, March 14 and 15 in Reading, Pa.
Powell was seeded sixth in the field of 16 wrestlers from all six New England states.
His first three wins took less than four minutes apiece against competitors from Vermont, Massacusetts and Rhode Island.
In the championship match, Powell pinned Massachusetts' Harrison Shapiro in 4 minutes, 4 seconds.
Powell, an eighth grader, went into the match as the Massachusetts champion after winning the state title in dominating fashion in Danvers earlier this month.
