1/3/2025 11:55:00 AM | Men's Wrestling
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh wrestling has added two-time NCAA qualifier Owen Trephan as a graduate transfer for the spring semester. Trephan comes to Lehigh after five-and-a-half years at North Carolina State University, where for the previous two seasons he was the starting heavyweight and an ACC champion for the Wolfpack.
Â
Trephan owns a 64-17 record over the previous four seasons at NC State. Over the last two seasons, Trephan went 41-12 overall at 285 including a 21-1 dual mark. Trephan won back-to-back ACC titles at 285 in 2023 and 2024, qualifying for the NCAA Championships in both seasons. He went 2-2 in his first NCAA appearance and went 1-2 last season.
Â
The Summerville, S.C., native is 10-0 so far in the 2024-25 season. Competing unattached he went 4-0 to claim the title at the Nov. 3 Battle at the Citadel, and then went 3-0 to win the 285B pool at the Nov. 10 Journeymen Collegiate Classic. Right before the holidays, Trephan competed unattached in Lehigh's Sheridan Tournament and went 3-0 to claim the title at 285 at Stabler Arena.
Â
Trephan is currently ranked ninth nationally in both the FloWrestling and InterMat rankings.
Â
Off the mats, Trephan earned Academic All-ACC honors the previous two seasons and is a four-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll.
Â
Prior to his time at NC State, Trephan was a South Carolina state champion and then a two-time National Prep champion competing for Blair Academy. He was a top 75 recruit overall and top five at his weight class according to both FloWrestling and InterMat.
Â
Trephan earned his Bachelor's degree in criminology from NC State in December 2023 and is enrolled in Lehigh's educational leadership graduate program.
Â
The Mountain Hawks are back on the mats next weekend with road duals at Binghamton (Jan. 11) and Cornell (Jan. 12).
Â
The 2024-25 Lehigh wrestling season is presented by the Historic Hotel Bethlehem.
