PRINCETON, N.J. – Army West Point wrestling got 12 wrestlers on the podium to open the 2026-27 season at the Princeton Open on Sunday.
Among the highlights was Clare Booe's title defense in the women's 117 lb bracket, with the sophomore going 5-0 on the day, capped off with a win by fall over Brown's Calli Gilchrist.
On the men's side, 11 Black Knights placed, and three athletes made it to their respective title bouts.
Making his career debut, freshman Joseph Uhorchuk won each of his first three matches, including two by fall, to reach the 133 lb final, where he took a 9-5 defeat to Stanford's Siraj Sidhu.
Senior Gunner Filipowicz made his 174 lb debut to the tune of four consecutive wins, setting him up in the championship bout before falling 8-5 to Stanford's Collin Guffey.
Lucas Stoddard also made a run to the championship bout, thanks in part to a sudden victory win over Princeton's Mark Effendian in the semifinals. Stoddard got within a point of Lehigh's Nathan Taylor in the third period of the final, but the senior would settle for second place with a 5-3 defeat.
Sophomore Jake Crapps also finished third at 133 lbs, with a trio of bonus point wins Sunday. At 197 lbs, Reid Schroeder collected a 15-3 major decision over Rutgers' Alex Reyes to finish in third as well. Freshman Johnny Green followed in fourth place at 125 lbs in his career debut
Senior Braden Basile collected a 21-3 technical fall over Rider's Chase Hansen in the 141 lb fifth-place match to finish fifth, while freshman Garett Kawczynski also took fifth with a major decision in the medal round. Meanwhile, Joe Antonio claimed fifth place with a no-contest in the fifth-place match at 157 lbs vs. Princeton's Joe Canova.
Cadel Lee (125 lbs) and Gage LaPlante (184 lbs) each claimed sixth place.
