There were two all-Penn finals on Sunday, as Max Gallagher defeated Brady Pruett (9-1 MD) for the 125 title and CJ Composto pinned Evan Mougalian in just 19 seconds for the 141 crown. The third win came at 157 in probably the best match of the finals, Jude Swisher coming back from a 6-1 deficit in the first period to earn a hard-fought, 10-8 win over Central Michigan's Johnny Lovett.
 
Swisher was later named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Keystone Classic.
 
Penn wrestlers finished second and third at 133, Alex Almeyda falling to Lock Haven's Anthony Noto in the final (4-2 DEC) and Ryan Miller wrestling his way back to third place at 133, defeating CMU's Andrew Austin in the third-place match (4-1 DEC).
 
Other Penn place winners included Paul Ognissanti, who was fifth at 157 pounds; Jordan Zimmerman, who was sixth at 197; and John Pardo and Zach Delsanter who finished third and fifth, respectively, at 285.
 
As a team, Penn finished the day with 131.5 points. That left the Quakers in fourth place, behind team champion Lock Haven (149.5), Virginia Tech (139.5), and Central Michigan (137).
