Doug Myers Grabs 3rd Place at 2008 PAJW Tournament

Doug Myers racked up three wins and made the semifinals of the 2008 PAJW Tournament before losing to eventual runnerup, John Rizzo of Richland. Rizzo was the 2006 11-12, 160 lbs. PAJW champ. Doug bounced back and scored a pair of wins in the consolation rounds to claim 3rd place.

Doug's 3rd place finish is the best by a McLane wrestler since Hadley Harrison took 2nd in 2002. Hadley and Hudson Harrison were also McLane's last PAJW State Champs. Both wresters won titles in 2000.

Parker Middle School wrestler Tyler Hendricks and Edinboro Youth wrestler, Joe Wheeling also placed at the PAJW Tournament. Both wrestlers nabbed 7th place. Kyle Sult went 2-2 at the tournament. Sult came up just one win short of placing.
