KUTZTOWN, Pa. –
Tyshawn White won the 125-pound championship and four other Golden Eagles posted top-five finishes, as Clarion competed and excelled at the PSAC Championships hosted by Kutztown on Saturday. The Golden Eagles return to dual match action on Friday, December 21 when they host Pittsburgh.
White won his second tournament title of the young season, adding a PSAC championship to his mantle after winning the 125-pound bracket at the Clarion Open earlier this year. After receiving a bye in the opening round, he bested Kutztown's Matt Wilde by 5-0 decision in the quarterfinal round. After defeating former Golden Eagle
Brendan Howard, now of Pitt-Johnstown, by 10-3 decision, White finished up with a big win over Mercyhurst's Eric Bartos. He defeated Bartos by major decision, posting a 16-5 score to win the title.
He wasn't the only one to make his mark at the championships. Evan Delong, the 2016 tournament's Outstanding Wrestler, reached the finals at 165 pounds for the second time in three years, falling in the championship bout but otherwise having a successful afternoon. He started the day with a 6-1 decision over Seton Hill's Sean Hoover, and that gave way to a major decision over East Stroudsburg's Richard Viruet in the semifinal round. Delong ultimately fell in the final to Millersville's Shane Ruhnke.
Ty Bagoly stood out in the 184-pound bracket, falling in the semifinal round to Edinboro's Zach Ancewicz before bouncing back for two wins in the consolation bracket that put him at third place. He started with a major decision over Lock Haven's Breylon Douglas before dropping the match to Ancewicz, but he recovered with an 11-5 decision over Pitt-Johnstown's Alexander Delp. Bagoly clinched third place with another win by decision, beating Mercyhurst's Trever Begin 7-2.
Shae Bloom also reached the third place match of his bracket, bouncing back after a loss to Millersville's Colton Dull in the semifinal round on the 197-pound field. He beat Bloomsburg's Kyle Murphy in the consolation semi but dropped a tight 7-3 decision to Edinboro's Dylan Reynolds.
Taylor Cahill took fifth in the 174-pound bracket, beating Seton Hill's Damon Greenwald in sudden victory with a 3-1 decision.
For the first time this year, no team champion was crowned at the tournament. Separate Division I and II champions will be named later this year based on dual match record between teams in respective divisions.
