PJW results

I don't usually do too much with junior high or pee wee wrestling, but placing at the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling tournament is an impressive accomplishment. Considering there is only one classification, compared with two at the PIAA level, it can be argued that winning PJW title is even more difficult than claiming one in the older age group.
Here are the wrestlers that I was able to find from The Tribune-Democrat's coverage who placed in the top 8 of Saturday's competition in Hershey. Three of them brought home championships: Chesntut Ridge's Jared McGill and Ligonier Valley's Robert Patrick in the 11-12 age group and Bedford's Jonathan Gabriel in the 13-14 category.
A quick glance at the results shows me a couple of things:
1. After a great season in District 5, there should be a few more quality wrestlers on the way to the varsity level in the next year or two.
2. Johnstown's record-setting varsity season could be the start of big things for the Trojans. While they don't have any placewinners in the junior high age group, there are five overall, the most of any local school.
