CLINTON, S.C. — Presbyterian College opened its wrestling season Sunday afternoon in Clinton with a round-robin event against Coker, and the Blue Hose dominated the head-to-head bouts. PC wrestlers faced Coker opponents 23 times and lost only three of them.
The format was different from a normal dual. Each wrestler was slated to compete four times, and 33 total bouts were contested on two mats, including 10 that matched PC teammates against each other. The event took place inside Templeton Gymnasium.
Freshman Preston Crone posted the best day of anyone on the PC roster at 157 pounds. He finished 4-0, winning twice by pin and twice by technical fall.
Alex Schweitzer and Joshua Henderson each went 3-0. Four more Blue Hose wrestlers, George Cody, Yanik Simon, Christian Anderson and Jayden Morris, competed multiple times and finished unbeaten.
Senior Reed Douglass won by technical fall at 184 pounds. Last winter he became just the second wrestler in program history to reach a Southern Conference title match.
The three Coker wins came at 133 pounds, where Daiyan Heard and Avan Rosado each beat Ethan York, and at 157, where Jasiah Solomon edged Jacob Garrison 13-12.
This is the eighth season for the program under head coach Mark Cody. Presbyterian begins its dual schedule Nov. 14 at VMI in Lexington, Virginia, then visits Gardner-Webb on Dec. 3 and Davidson on Dec. 6.
