WILLIAMSBURG, Ky.--Cumberland Wrestling opened up their 2024-25 campaign at the Pepsi Patriot Open in Williamsburg. The Phoenix had one wrestler place on the podium as Aslan Nadeau finished in second in the 125 freshman/sophomore division.

Rocco Horvath lost his opener, but rattled off four-straight wins at 184 in the consolation rounds. 

Aslan Nadeau stood out in the Fresh/Soph 133 weight class, finishing second after a remarkable day that included three victories, two by fall. His performance contributed 21.5 points to the team total.

In the Fresh/Soph 165 class, Seth Lindsey recorded five wins, showcasing his skills with a mix of tech fall and major decision victories. He finished with 9.5 points despite facing tough competition later in the tournament.
