Wrestling
Competing last Sunday in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championships at Penn State’s Rec Hall, Penn College finished fifth among 11 teams with 65.5 points. Penn State DuBois was first with 174, followed by West Virginia Tech, 148.5; The Apprentice School, 129; Alfred State, 108; Penn College; Penn State Mont Alto, 60; Penn State Fayette, 47.5; Penn State New Kensington, 35; Penn State Schuylkill, 25.5; Williamson Trade School, 25.5; and Penn State Beaver, 5.
Individually for the Wildcats, Mason Replogle, of New Enterprise, in the 149-pound weight class, and Dan Frankenfield, of Dushore, at 174, both went 3-1 in their bouts to claim third-place finishes. Also for Penn College, Tanner Leid, of Terre Hill, went 2-2 at 157 and Pat Fitzgerald, of Port Royal, went 1-2 at 197 for fourth-place finishes while Ben Doll, of Glen Rock, ended sixth at 125.
“The main thing is, our guys wrestled hard,” coach Schuyler Frey said. “There were some disappointing matches we thought we should have won, but there were others where we wrestled better than we thought we would.
“As a team, we did OK. With our returning guys, we hope to build on the success of this season,” added Frey, in his sixth season.
Closing out its season Saturday, Penn College lost at Muhlenberg College, 33-20, to finish 6-10. Winning for the Wildcats were Ben Doll, with a forfeit at 125; Replogle, with a decision at 149; Connor Route, of Canton, with a technical fall at 197; and Fitzgerald with a fall at 285.
Looking ahead to next season, the Wildcats will have to replace Frankenfield, Replogle, Fitzgerald and heavyweight Zach Kane, of Higganum, Connecticut.
