Wilps vs. Wright Set For AS Classic
Willie Saylor, Editor

Quentin Wright (PSU) is moving from 184 to 197. And it won't take long for us to see how he looks at his new weight and a formiddable opponent. He'll wrestle in the first competition weekend of the year at The NWCA All Star Classic, held at American University on November 3rd.

Wright began his career as a 174lber, claiming All American honors as a true freshman, before redshirting and bumping up to 184, where he reached two NCAA finals and won a title.

His opponent will be returning All American, Matt Wilps. The Pittsburgh Panther was an NCAA semifinalist last year and finished 4th. Wilps is a two-time Eastern Wrestling League Champion with a 104-34 career record.

For the sold-out All Star event, eight of the ten main card bouts have now been released. Penn State leads the participants with four individuals represented. Illinois is next with three.
