Three Rider wrestlers opened the season with podium finishes at the Princeton Open. Shay Addison placed third at 184 pounds, while Dylan Layton took fourth at 149 and Kage Jones finished fourth at 157. The Broncs return to the mat Nov. 20 against Michigan.

By the Numbers
  • 3 Rider wrestlers reached the podium.
  • Addison finished third; Layton and Jones placed fourth.
  • Rider hosts Michigan on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.
Yes, But

All three podium finishers lost in the semifinals and then fell again in their placement matches, leaving Rider just short of stronger finishes.

Bottom Line

Rider opened with three podium results and several other wrestlers earning wins, but converting early momentum into placement-round victories is the next step.
