CHARLESTON, S.C. — After making his Division I wrestling debut Friday in a dual start against NC State, App State true freshman
Tomas Brooker won the 184-pound title at the Battle for The Citadel tournament by going 4-0 on Sunday.
Brooker used a third-period takedown to win a 5-2 decision against teammate
Hunter Adams in an all-App State final. Adams, who had a 3-1 record Sunday, and
Noah Luna, who went 2-1 at 125 pounds, were both finalists.
Chad Bellis (3-1 at 125 pounds),
Kaden Keiser (4-1 at 141) and
Jeremiah Price (4-1 at 149) were third-place finishers.
Ike Byers placed fourth at 141 with a 4-2 mark.
Brooker opened the event with a 10-3 decision against top-seeded George Mason wrestler Malachi DuVall, who went 24-12 last season. Their match was tied at 2-all before a final-minute flurry that included two takedowns and a two-point near fall from Brooker.
The 2023-24 season is presented by Hungry Howie's and Penn Station. App State returns to action Saturday by hosting the Mountaineer Invitational in Varsity Gym.
