BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh will spend the second weekend of the 2024-25 season sending a contingent of wrestlers to the Journeymen Collegiate Classic, Sunday at nearby Freedom High School.
Â
As many as 18 wrestlers could compete Sunday in the event. The Journeymen Collegiate Classic will once again feature a tournament-style round-robin format. Wrestlers will compete in 6-to-8 man round robin brackets that will be followed by crossover matches. Action begins at 9 a.m. with streaming video available on FloWrestling.
Â
Last weekend Lehigh had 21 wrestlers compete at the Princeton Open, with senior Sheldon Seymour (125) and first-year Logan Rozynski (157) claiming individual titles. Ten Mountain Hawks earned places in the top six at Princeton as well.
Â
In addition, four wrestlers competed at the Clarion Open, with seniors Max Brignola (165 – unattached) and Michael Beard (197) winning titles and sophomore Luke Stanich (141 – unattached) and junior Nathan Taylor (285) finishing second.
