2022 NATIONAL PREP CHAMPIONS

2022 PENNSYLVANIA STATE PREP CHAMPIONS

The Wyoming Seminary wrestling program is among the nation's top high school athletic programs, often producing state and national champions and NCAA Division I student-athletes.

The Blue Knights have won seven national championships, dating as far back as 1937, 1947, 1948 and 1952. More recently, Sem earned the title in 2014, 2020 and 2022 at the National Prep Wrestling Championships.

Prior to winning the team championship at the national level, Sem earned the same prize at the state level, capturing first place at the 2022 Pennsylvania Independent Schools Wrestling Tournament.

Sem then convincingly won the national championship with Nic Bouzakis (132), Meyer Shapiro (145), Joe Sealey (152) and Jude Correa (182) each finishing first in their respective weight classes. Davis Motyka (106), Cooper Hilton (113) and Dom Federici (160) were runners-up. Luke Lilledahl (120), Kai Owen (138) and Jack Darrah (220) each finished third, while Carter Schubert (170), Wolfgang Frable (195) and DJ Moehring (285).

Following the season, Lilledahl and Sealey won gold medals at the U17 World Wrestling Championships in Rome, Italy.

Cornell Robinson is head coach of the Wyoming Seminary boys wrestling program, a position he'd taken prior to the start of the 2021-22 season. He is also head coach of the Team USA U17 squad, which, led by Lilledahl and Sealey, won the world title in 2022.
