Aggies Compete At York College Spartan Invitational

YORK (PA) -- The Delaware Valley College wrestling team, ranked sixth in Division III, took part in the remodified York College Spartan Invitational as only three of the eight teams (Delaware Valley, No. 19 York and Carson-Neumann) that were scheduled to take part in the tournament competed in the event due to the inclement weather. No team scoring was held and the wrestlers competed in round robin action.

Thee Aggies went undefeated on Saturday, including nationally-ranked wrestlers Barry Wise and Andrew Helms. Wise, a returning All-American who is ranked second at 133 pounds, went 2-0 with a pair of pins. He downed Jake Brumblelow of Carson-Neumann in 5:25 and followed with a pin of Mike Troast of York in 2:39. Wise is now 10-3 on the season with six pins.

Helms, a returning national qualifier who is sixth at 197 pounds, improved to 13-1 on the season with three victories at the tournament. He pinned Drew Baldauf of York in 4:45 and then earned a 6-3 decision over Jeff Malone of York. Helms then notched a 19-5 major decision over Tim Freel of Carson-Neumann to complete the perfect showing.

Freshman Rob Jiminez also went 3-0 as the 141-pounder improved to 8-5 on the year. He edged teammate Tom Becker, 3-2, in one match and followed with a 5-2 decision over Luis Quinnoes of York. Jiminez then wrestled fellow Aggie Dave Giamoni and pinned him 11 seconds into the third period (5:11).
