He’s done a really good job all year for the most part of being steady.” Five Tech wrestlers wrestled through the consolation bracket to finish in third and earn a spot on the podium. The most exciting of those victories came from 125-pounder Joey Prata and 197-pounder Tom Sleigh. Prata beat North Carolina’s Joseph Heilmann 3-1 in sudden victory, while Sleigh pinned North Carolina’s Brandon Whitman. Korbin Myers (133), B.C. LaPrade (157) and heavyweight Billy Miller all won by decision to finish third in their weight classes. Tech now has finished in the top two at the ACC Championship in each of the past four seasons. David McFadden took home his second career ACC title with a 7-3 victory over Duke’s Matt Finesilver in the final at 174 pounds. Mekhi Lewis won his first ACC title in his first ACC Championship, as the redshirt freshman knocked off NC State’s Thomas Bullard in the final at 165 pounds.
