He went 27-4 during the regular season and 3-3 at the NCAA Championships, where he finished sixth in his weight class. Robie expects more of the same from the redshirt senior this season. “Last year was a big deal for him to get over that hump and become an All-American,” Robie said. “He’s had a great summer training. He’s a sponge. He has the ability to learn wrestling, and he’s a student of the sport. He has a very high wrestling IQ. He spent a lot of time with Coach Molinaro, and that has helped him a lot improving his skill set. I expect very big things from Zack this year … I’m excited because I think if he wrestles well, he’ll be in the mix to be wrestling Saturday night at the NCAA tournament.” 197 pounds Haught’s departure leaves a massive void in Tech’s lineup—after all, he became just the fourth three-time All-American in program history in addition to being just the second national runner-up. To replace Haught, Robie is taking a look at a graduate transfer in Tom Sleigh, who came to Tech this summer after spending four years at Bucknell. In three seasons with the Bison, he qualified for the NCAA Championships on three occasions, and he won 89 matches. Also, Brooks Wilding and Cody Howard figure to be in the mix. “Tom Sleigh is a proven winner at this level,” Robie said. “He’s a three-time NCAA qualifier. He’s a very mature, hard-working guy, and we feel good about Tom and what he’s capable of. He’s more than capable of stepping in. I’m not saying he’ll have the success that Jared had, but on his best day, he’s pretty good.” Set For WRESTLING MORE Continued from page 41 Last season, Zack Zavatsky was an All-American for the first time, finishing sixth in his weight class.
