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).
