Three Pennsylvania College of Technology wrestlers are poised to compete this weekend on the sport’s biggest stage at the NCAA Division III National Championships in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and coach Dalton Rohrbaugh sees potential for each of them.

Representing the college on Friday and Saturday will be sophomore Carter Davis, of York, at 165 pounds; junior Kaden Ware, of Brooklyn, Connecticut, at 141; and junior Nick Woodruff, of Wyalusing, at 197. In Region 2 eliminations on Feb. 28 and March 1, Davis placed second, while Ware and Woodruff both finished third.

“I was very pleased with our regional performance,” the second-year coach said. “Four all-region wrestlers (David M’Balla, of Easton, was eighth at 157), with three going to the NCAAs, is a great weekend. Even the guys who did not place, I felt, wrestled very well and just lost to some very good opponents. There are always things to work out, but I was very pleased with the performance. As a staff, we do our best to get our guys to peak at the right time. They bought into what we’ve been telling them this year, and it all worked out.”
