Devlin Takes First, Four from @PackWrestle with Podium Finishes

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Four members of the NC State wrestling team finished with podium finishes in the first competition of the 2019-20 season, The Battle at The Citadel.

Highlighting the Wolfpack's performance was R-Jr. Kellen Devlin taking top honors at 133 pounds, his first career tournament win. After an opening bye, Devlin scored back-to-back bonus points wins, a 17-1 tech fall then a first period pin in the semifinals. In the finals, he matched up against teammate R-Fr. Jarrett Trombley.

Their battle went into OT, as Devlin scored a late reversal then added a ride out for the 3-2 win.

Trombley placed second in his first tournament in a Red & White single. He started with a close 3-1 win, then scored a pin and 8-4 decision to advance to the finals.

In addition to those podium finishes, a pair of Wolfpack wrestlers were third in their weight class: R-So. A.J. Leitten at 149 pounds and Fr. Chris Garrison at 184 pounds.

The Wolfpack will host its annual wrestle-offs next weekend. They will take place prior to the NC State-Clemson football game, and be held outside at the PNC Arena at 4 p.m.
