Wyoming Seminary's nationally recognized wrestling program delivered another remarkable performance on one of the sport's biggest stages, earning 10 All-American honors, three national championships, and two Outstanding Wrestler awards at the prestigious U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota.

Often regarded as the nation's premier high school wrestling tournament, the Junior Nationals brings together the country's top wrestlers to compete for national titles. This year's results further solidify Wyoming Seminary's standing among the nation's elite wrestling programs.
The Blue Knights' boys team produced four All-Americans, led by Alex Marchetti, who captured the national championship and was named the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler in the 16U division. Additional All-American finishes came from Dale Corbin, who placed third, Lucas Drake, who finished fourth, and Chaney Lewis, who earned sixth place.
The girls team enjoyed an equally impressive tournament, producing six All-Americans, including five finalists and two national champions.
