Freshmen Luke Lohr</roster.aspx?rp_id=2931> and Brandon Fedorka</roster.aspx?rp_id=2937> joined sophomore Alex Crown</roster.aspx?rp_id=2916> and senior Nick Garber</roster.aspx?rp_id=2918> on the Jan. 18 rankings to give the Yellow Jackets four representatives on the rankings, which is the highest total in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC). Both Lohr and Fedorka were listed as honorable mention selections, while Crown and Garber were given the nod as "contenders", placing them just outside the top 10.
Lohr has hit the ground running in his first year with the Jackets and currently leads the team in wins with a 25-3 overall record at 149 pounds. After joining the team following the completion of the 2010 football season, Fedorka took over the as the team's starting heavyweight almost immediately. Since then, he has compiled an 11-4 record, has won five-straight bouts and been victorious in eight of his last nine trips to the mat.
Crown, the defending PAC Most Outstanding Wrestler, picked up right where he left off after a stellar freshman campaign. He currently boasts a 20-2 record and his two losses have come by a combined four points. He is unbeaten in his last eight bouts and is a perfect 13-0 in dual contests. Crown is also ranked 10th in the country by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) After finishing seventh in the country last year, it has been an up-and-down year for Garber. He has battled some injury problems while putting together a 12-3 record, but hopes to hit his stride as the regular season starts to wind down.
