Composto Earns All-America Status on Day Two of NCAA Wrestling Championships

DETROIT – The University of Pennsylvania wrestling team came away from day two with an All-American. CJ Composto became the first freshman in program history to earn the honors. The 2022 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships continues with the final bouts Saturday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
 
Composto will have a chance to wrestle for seventh place on Saturday morning as he will meet Minnesota's Jakob Bergland.  Composto opened the day with a tiebreaker win over Andrew Alirez (UNCO). His first loss of the tournament came in a tech fall loss to Real Woods (Stanford). He then claimed All-American status with a 10-4 win in the first overtime against Michigan's Stevan Micic. Composto battled in a 14-10 final against Grant Willits (Oregon State). With the loss he moved into the seventh-place bout.
