LEXINGTON, Va. (Jan. 12) – Led by a first-place finish by newcomer Leonard Drummond, the Yellow Jackets finished sixth overall at the Washington & Lee Invitational Saturday afternoon.

He then posted a victory over Washington & Jefferson freshman Nick Centra before claiming the title at 141-pounds with a 9-1 major decision over senior Rich Russell of the University of Scranton in the championship match.

At 133-pounds, freshman Josh Boyle earned a third-place finish in a seven-wrestler field with a 3-1 mark.

Boyle then claimed a 4-2 overtime win against Muhlenberg freshman Mike Slevin in the consolation semifinals. In the third-place bout, Boyle avenged his earlier loss when he earned a 3-2 victory over Shubick. Boyle now ranks third on the team this season with seven victories, including two in dual play.

In the heavyweight division, senior LR Neubauer finished in fourth place with a 2-2 record to improve his team-leading win total to a career-high 10.
