2020 NATIONAL PREP CHAMPIONS

2020 PENNSYLVANIA INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS CHAMPIONS

With six first-place finishes and five runners-up, Wyoming Seminary captured the 2020 National Prep Championship on Feb. 22. The Blue Knights edged Blair Academy, 349-268, to earn their first national title since 2014, and their sixth in school history. Other national title seasons were 1937, 1947, 1948, 1952, and 2014. 

The victory came a week after the Blue Knights captured their 14^th straight Pennsylvania Prep title, ahead of Malvern Prep, 349-294.
Beau Bartlett, who is headed to Penn State University, became only the 11^th wrestler in the 85-year history of the National Prep Wrestling Championships to earn four individual national championships. He earned the award for Most Pins in the Least Amount of Time, including a four-second pin and a win by fall in seven seconds at the national tournament.
Lachlan McNeil ’20, who will wrestle at the University of North Carolina, was named Outstanding Wrestler at nationals.

Sem's six national champions in 2020 is the second best in school history. The Blue Knights saw seven wrestlers earn titles in 1948, while five earned national titles in 2015.

Former coach Scott Green and the Blue Knights celebrated 35 individual national titles since he took over the program in 2010. Cornell Robinson succeeded Green as head coach prior to the 2021-22 season.
