Blue Knights Travel to Blair Academy

By Kate Getz ‘21

On Friday, January 17, the number one Wyoming Seminary wrestling team traveled to number two Blair Academy to compete in one of their biggest matches of the season. With the entire Sem community as well as the greater wrestling community supporting them, the blue knights gave their best effort but fell short 34-21.

According to the Times Leader, the wrestling team has been number one since the Ironman wrestling tournament. At that tournament, the team beat Blair and produced three individual champions: Drew Munch ‘20, Nic Bouzakis ‘22, and Lachlan McNeil ‘20, who claimed the Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Since Ironman, the Blue Knights have won first place at the XCalibur, Powerade, and Eastern State Tournaments as well. 

Despite the team’s loss, the individual champions of the match included Brennon Cernus ‘22, Beau Bartlett ‘20, Lachlan McNeil ‘20, Connor Kievman ‘20, Gabe Arnold ‘23, and Kolby Franklin ‘22.

The Opinator wishes the wrestling team best of luck as they continue with their season.
