How Did Pennsylvania's Top Incoming Freshmen of 2016 Fare?
Pennsylvania’s Top Incoming Freshmen of 2016, like all years, was packed full of some of the most talented wrestlers in the Keystone State. In 2016 there were 19 Class AA State Qualifiers, six who were PIAA State Medalists, and 18 Class AAA State Qualifiers, six who were PIAA State Medalists. Combined between Class AA & AAA there were 37 freshmen PIAA State Qualifiers, 12 PIAA State Medalists, and one PIAA State Champion. On the National Prep scene there were five 2016 TIF who qualified for the National Prep Tournament with three earning All-American honors as Shane Hanson-Ashwroth (Malvern Prep) led the way finish as the National Prep Runner-up at 106 lbs.
Of the total 86 TIF of 2016 (Top 75 + 11 Honorable Mentions) four wrestlers actually competed in eighth grade including #42 Nathan Lackman, #58 Gabe Willochell, #62 Jack Wimmer, and #HM Andrew Sharer. Expect all four to rank high on the Top Incoming Freshmen of 2017.
Most notably, #55 Jason Baker (Derry Area), continued to fight cancer. A year ago Baker was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on his brain stem which was surgically removed. Since then Jason has undergone both radiation and chemotherapy treatments. The 2014 PJW State Champion is in good spirits and anxious to return to the mat.
The lone freshman State Champion from 2016 was also PA Power Wrestling’s overall Top Incoming Freshman, Northampton Area’s Julian Chlebove. Competing at 113 lbs. Julian went (43-2) on the season and in the finals he defeated for the second time on the season Matty Parker (Pennridge). Chlebove’s two defeats came when he was competing at 120 lbs. both at the Beast of the East. #2 Kawaun Deboe (Cathedral Prep), #3 Ryan Vulakh (North Penn), and #3 Carter Starocci (Cathedral Prep) all ended their rookie seasons as PIAA State Medalists at their respective weights.
I am only human and inevitably missed multiple freshmen who were excluded from the TIF of 2016 and proved to have successful rookie seasons. Below is a list of 11 freshmen wrestlers who were missed, all of which were PIAA State Qualifiers, and one a PIAA State Medalist, Ritchie Markulics (Notre Dame-Green Pond), who finished eighth in Class AA at 113 lbs.
Several wrestlers who were included on the list were, to say the least, underrated. The most obvious one was Boiling Springs freshman Kollin Myers who entered as the #60 ranked TIF of 2016 but finished as a PIAA State Runner-up at 113 lbs. The younger brother of PIAA State Champion Korbin Myers, Kollin progressed throughout the season improving every step of the way. Facing some of the State’s best wrestlers Kollin entered the post-season battle tested. At the PIAA State Dual Team Tournament Myers was instrumental in helping the Bubblers finish fourth by downing stud Aaron Burkett (Chestnut Ridge) twice in two days. In the PIAA State Finals Kollin ran into one of the best wrestlers in the Nation, sophomore Gavin Teasdale (Jefferson Morgan) who earned a tech-fall over the freshman to remain undefeated in his career.
Another wrestler who was underrated was Myers’ District 3 rival Bronson Garber (Upper Dauphin Area) who would end the season in fifth place at the PIAA State Tournament at 113 lbs. The rookie was rated #64 on the TIF of 2016 but would end up as one of the top performing freshmen. Yet another District 3 wrestler to exceed expectations was Edmond Ruth (Susquehanna Township) who is the younger brother of former Penn State National Champion Ed Ruth. Younger Edmond came in listed as Honorable Mention but climbed up the charts winning the New Oxford Invitational then stormed his way to a South Central Regional Championship title at 145 lbs. In his first PIAA State Tournament Ruth scraped to an eighth place finish.
