ALTOONA – The Central Mountain wrestling team is in Altoona today to defend its District 6 individual tournament title, but it won’t be easy. The Wildcats are expected to be part of a daylong four-way battle for the team title.
Eight teams are competing to advance as many wrestlers as they can to the PIAA Northwest Regional tournament Feb. 28 and 29 (four go at each weight). But the four teams vying for first place, in addition to the Wildcats are expected to be State College, Mifflin County and Bellefonte.
Others competing are Altoona, Johnstown, Hollidaysburg and Juniata.
Central Mountain returns two district champs in Taylor Weaver and Lane Porter, both #2 seeds this year and a runner-up in Nik Miller, also a #2 seed. Derek Keen is seeded number one this year; he was a third-place finisher in 2019 (and also finished third at regionals).
