Quote:2016-17 SoCon Wrestler of the Year Denzel Dejournette started off the heavyweight division with a bang, pinning VMI’s Thomas Shae-Roop in 30 seconds before getting the 20-4 technical fall win over SIUE’s Jake McKiernan. In the first place matchup, Dejournette battled with Campbell’s Jere Heino and won out his spot in the NCAA Championship by winning 7-4.

>Matt Zovistoski began the 149-pound division with a 12-0 major decision over Joby Armenta of Gardner-Webb before narrowly defeating Ben Barton of Campbell with a 2-1 decision. Zovistoski then faced SIUE’s John Fahy for the first place batter where App State got the 6-5 decision victory, earning Zovistoski a ticket to the NCAA Championship.

>At 125 pounds, senior Vito Pasone fell to Campbell’s Nathan Kraisser, 16-1, before Pasone bounced back to blast Gardner-Webb’s Landon LoAlbo with a 20-7 major decision. Pasone then got the third place and spot in the NCAA Championship by defeating Alonzo Allen in an 18-1 technical fall.

At-Large:
Quote:Colby Smith started off the 133-pound bracket by downing The Citadel’s Andrew Szalwinski in a 9-1 major decision. Smith then got another major decision when he defeated Jonathan Ryan of Campbell, 12-1, to get to the first place bout. The freshman would fall to Chattanooga’s Chris Debian 7-4 in double overtime to finish second overall.

Does every school in the Sunbelt sponsor wrestling? Who does and who doesn't?

Arkansas State doesn't and hasn't since the 50's when the coach left for Oklahoma State. Until a few years ago there wasn't even high school wrestling in Arkansas, basically a couple guys who like the sport helped get enough schools to start to make it a sanctioned sport.

There are only 76 Division I wrestling programs out of 351 Division I programs.

So GS and App state both won SoCon championships (GS women's rifle team won in coed air rifle competition).

In your face, SoCon!
