JCC Cracks National Rankings

Jayhawk Matmen Claim 19th Spot In Latest Poll Released Tuesday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Jamestown Community College wrestling team has cracked the NJCAA rankings, claiming the 19th spot in the latest poll.

The Jayhawks (2-4) started the season with a tough schedule, facing four schools that are a part of the NCAA, falling in three of the matches. Jamestown CC started the year with a win over NCAA DIII Pitt-Bradford and picked up its other win this past weekend against Muskegon CC.

The Jayhawks have fared well individually, placing seven wrestlers at three different tournaments.

Dan Torres (Cassadaga/Cassadaga Valley) highlights the group, placing at the Washington and Jefferson Invitational, New York State Championships and at the Thunderwolves Open, all while competing in the 174-pound weight class.

Jacob Smith (Virginia Beach, Virginia/Hickory) placed sixth at the Washington and Jefferson Invitational in the heavyweight class; Taige Jones (Bemus Point/Maple Grove) took first in the 141-pound weight class at the Thunderwolves Open; and Colten Studley (Bolivar/Bolivar-Richburg) and Otto Davidson (Congers/Clarkstown North) placed third and fifth respectively.

The Jayhawks will be back in action Saturday as they take on Ithaca College and Oswego State at the Ithaca Duals, starting at noon.
