Three Solon Wrestlers Win Weight Class at Comet Classic

Three Solon wrestlers won their weight classes at the 25-team Comet Classic Wrestling Tournament this weekend.

Defending state champions Brandon Thompson (113 lbs class) and Anthony Collica (145 lbs) each won their weight class. Also winning his weight class -- and capping a great comeback story -- was Senior Justin Kresevic (160 lbs), who is wrestling for the first time since his sophomore after recovering from a football knee injury.

Thompson pinned his way through the tournment, defeating Riverside's Zach Van Pelt, GlenOak's Elliott Adkins, Mentor's Nick DeSanto and Willoughby South's Joey Gallegher to win the crown.

Collica defeated Akron Fireside's Richard Lapilusa, Twinsburg's Tyrone Meguniea (b forfeit), Berkshire's Jason Kaser and Mentor's Dillon Ashton.

Kresevic defeated Strongsville's Ben Lebrun, Eastlake North's Josh Likovic, Chardon's Marcus Mytro and Walsh Jesuit's Dominic Scarberry by a 5-3 decision to win the 160-pound class.
