Spring-Ford 2016-2017 Wrestling Preview

Head coach: Tim Seislove, 18th year.

Last year’s record: 7-2 PAC-10, 16-6 overall.

Wrestlers to watch: Oscar Granese, Sr., 132; Tim Moran, Sr., 195; Jon Westlake, Sr., 145; Matt Lepore, Jr., 285; Brandon Meredith, Jr., 120; Dirk Nugent, So., 126; Chase Smith, So., 182.

Outlook: Meredith was a fourth-place state medalist at 106 last winter, after emerging as a PAC and Southeast AAA Regional champion. Smith was another regional qualifier at 182. … Meredith, who won in excess of 30 matches his first two high-school seasons, stands in position to reach the 100-win plateau this year. He comes into the 2016-17 campaign with 71 victories. … Granese, Moran, Westlake, Lepore and Nugent were all district-tournament qualifiers last year. … “We lost a strong group of seniors to graduation last year,” Seislove noted. “Right now, we are just trying to fill all 14 weight classes to be competitive in the toughest league in District 1.”
