Three Spartans Place at Ned McGinley Invitational

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The York men's wrestling team finished eighth out of 13 teams with three place winners at the Ned McGinley Invitational hosted by King's on Saturday.

Jared Townsend led the way for York with his second-place finish at 174 lbs., while 14th-ranked Jared Bair tied for third at 157 lbs and Justice Hockenberry tied for fifth at 174 lbs.

Spartan Place Winners
  • Jared Townsend had a fantastic season debut as he placed second at 174 lbs. with a 4-1 record on the day. The third-seeded Spartan stormed his way to the finals with three pins and a major decision, including a third-period fall over second-seed Ben Dougherty (RIT) in the semifinals. Towsend finished the day with a narrow 5-1 loss to No. 8 Colby Morris (Waynesburg) in the finals.
  • No. 14 Jared Bair went 3-1 before ending the day on a pair of no contests as match limits came into play in the later rounds. The top-seeded Spartan opened the day with three-straight wins on a fall and two decisive decision victories before getting reversed and pinned in his semifinal bout with Daniel Kosinski (Scranton). Bair then advanced past Brendan Warland (RIT) before ending the day in a no contest with Marek Bush (RIT) as the two wrestlers tied for third place.
  • Justice Hockenberry compiled a record of 4-2 to finish in a tie for fifth place at 174 lbs. in his collegiate tournament debut. The eighth-seeded rookie started off strong with a first-period fall and a 15-0 technical fall before getting pinned in the third period by No. 8 Colby Morris in their quarterfinal bout. Hockenberry rebounded with an 18-2 technical fall and a 14-7 victory before losing, 15-4, to second-seed Ben Dougherty (RIT) in the consolation semifinals. Having reached his match limit for the day, Hockenberry tied for fifth place with Jayden Curley (RWU) in a no contest.

York also had five wrestlers finish with winning records (3-2) on the day, but did not place: Jacob DelVecchio (125), Jacob Kresicki (125), Jack Doran (141), Nick Paolucci (149) and Brock Hofler (197).
