Senior / 157
Salem, Ohio / West Branch
Lamancusa, the nation's top wrestler in Division II's 157 lb weight class, went 4-0 this past week as he recorded a career milestone with his 100th career victory. Lamancusa started the week out defeating the sixth-ranked wrestler in Division II's 157 lb weight class, Michael Lybarger of Findlay, by majority decision (15-5) on Thursday, and then went 3-0 as he claimed the top spot in the 157 lbs weight class at the Mount Union Purple Raiders Open on Sunday.
Lamancusa recorded the milestone win in the semifinals, defeating West Liberty State’s Shane Melko by major decision, 12-2. The two-time All-American sits fourth on the school's career wins list and needs just nine victories to become the Lakers' all-time wins leader and surpass current record holder Zach Schafer, who totaled 109 during his career.
Last week’s victories have improved Lamancusa's record to a impressive 21-6 on the season.
