Penn College wrestlers feature ‘grit, toughness, funk’
With a roster that returns three top-eight regional finishers from last season’s squad and a NCAA Division III national qualifier from two seasons ago, first-year coach Pennsylvania College of Technology wrestling head coach Dalton Rohrbaugh has plenty of reason for optimism.
“Overall, I am extremely excited for this team to compete. I think we will turn heads and show we can compete with the best of the best,” Rohrbaugh said. “We have some great wrestlers, no doubt, but we will also win matches we ‘aren’t supposed to’ on paper because of the grit, toughness and conditioning we will bring to competition.
“These guys are doing things the right way on and off the mat and not complaining about a single thing, picking each other up when it gets tough and being the true definition of a team. Staying healthy will be a key point, but if we can do that, then the sky is the limit.”
The Wildcats open their season on Friday and Saturday at the Ithaca College Bombers Invitational, where they finished sixth in a 12-team field last season.
