Wolfpack Wrestling Captain To Grapple At Virginia Tech

Caleb Isemann announced where he'll be hitting the mat at the collegiate level.

LONG VALLEY, N.J. – Caleb Isemann’s senior year is coming to a close, and it’s going out with a bang.

The West Morris Central High School wrestling team’s co-captain recently announced he’ll be taking his academic and athletic talents to Virginia Tech, where he’ll hit the mat at the collegiate level next school year.

Isemann completed his career in Atlantic City on Boardwalk Hall at the annual state wrestling championships this year and was forced to bow out due to a back injury – one he sustained in 2015 but wrestled more than 40 matches with, tallying 33 wins on the season.
