Capturing the individual title at 132 pounds, Paul Selman helped Glenbard West’s wrestling team come in third place at Saturday’s Class 3A Glenbard East regional.

More importantly, Selman and five of his teammates advanced to this weekend’s Leyden individual sectional.

Selman knocked off Jacob Drew of Glenbard East, 5-2, in the final. Alex Morreale was the runner-up at 160. Placing third were Charles Faber (106), Pernevlon Sheppard (138), Collin Knowlton (170) and Jordan Hassan (220), with the latter notching a 3-2 win in his final match to move on.

Regional champ and state powerhouse Oak Park-River Forest qualified a wrestler at each of the 14 weight classes, which essentially left just two sectional tourney berths at each weight for the other eight schools competing at the regional.

Just missing out on qualifying for the sectional were Andrew Posegay (145), Patrick Thurmond (152) and Nik Hollensbe (182), with that trio all finishing fourth in their respective weight classes.

The Hilltoppers compiled a team score of 123, which was just seven points behind the host Rams. OPRF ran away with first-place (283).

Glenbard South

With four wrestlers qualifying for the Lakes sectional, the Raiders finished in third place at Saturday’s Class 2A Elmwood Park regional.

Will Collins was the runner-up at 145 pounds and Frank Stramaglia placed second at 195. Adding third-place showings were Michael Scholl (170) and Zak Georgitsis (220). Younis Dhaher (113) and Eric McGovern (120) just missed out on making the sectional tourney.

St. Francis

Competing at Saturday’s Elmwood Park regional, the Spartans sent three individuals through to this weekend’s Lakes sectional.

MIke Andelbradt finished second at 220 pounds and Cole Cunningham was the runner-up at 285. Matt Humas finished third at 113.
