YORK, PA. - The Apprentice School wrestling team ventured to

quad-match with the 15th-ranked Spartans,
27th-ranked Wilkes University Colonels and the
University of Scranton Royals and came away with a 1-2 mark on the
day.
Freshman Charles Robinson was the leading wrestler for the
Apprentice School (8-8) on the day winning all three of his matches
at 184 pounds. He recorded wins by decision against Wilkes
(4-2) and York (10-4) and a technical fall victory over Scranton

freshman Justin Olanowski (:45 at 133) for a 12-0 advantage.
Following a Scranton win at 141, sophomore Matt Perry started a run
of four out of five matches won by the Builders with a 9-7 victory
at 149 pounds. Seniors Justin Gilliard (8-7 at 165) and Eric
Lybarger (pin in 1:41 at 174) set up Robinson to take a 20-5
