Five Ithaca Wrestlers to Compete at Men's Wrestling NCAA Championships

ITHACA, N.Y. – The Ithaca College men's wrestling team will be sending five wrestlers to the 2025 NCAA Division III Championships that are set to begin March 14-15 at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, R.I. Fans will be able to follow along via live video and stats.
 
The Bombers will look to send home an All-American for the second-straight season as Isaias Torres returns and he is joined by teammates Tomah Gummow, Konrad Parker, Jackson Gray and Xavier Pommells. Action is slated to begin on Friday at 12 p.m. and will resume at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
 
125 lbs. Tomah Gummow- A first year who has made an immediate impact since stepping foot on the South Hill earned his NCAA Championship qualifying bid via his third place at the NCAA Region II qualifier. Gummow enters Friday with a collegiate record of 33-11 and is unseeded and will take on Ausburg's Wyatt Kaczrowski who has a record of 21-7. The winner of the opening matchup will take on No. 7 seeded Gavin Bradley from Castleton.
 
133 lbs. Isaias Torres- The lone returning All-American should surely contend for his second-straight honor. With a 25-7 record this season and a second-place finish two weekends ago he will matchup against the No. 3 seeded Garrett Trotten from TCNJ. They squared off earlier in the season where Trotten earned a tight 8-2 decision.
 
165 lbs. Konrad Parker- Also unseeded Konrad Parker punched his ticket by finishing second in his weight class during the NCAA Regional and is competing at nationals for the first time in his career. This season he has a record of 29-4 and will have a first round matchup against the No. 7 seeded Brayden Peet from Wisconsin-Whitewater. Peet is also making his first NCAA Championship appearance and has a 2025 record of 21-4 and was the NCAA Region V champion at 165 lbs.
 
174 lbs. Jackson Gray- A returning NCAA qualifier, Jackson Gray (32-4) will look to put it all together this weekend. Gray won his regional qualifying bracket and has won 11-straight matches. He has an opening round bout against the winner of No. 2 seeded Zeb Grinda and Eddie Simes from Wisconsin-La Crosse. All three of these wrestlers will look for their first career All-American honors as well.
 
184 lbs. Xavier Pommells – The junior was also a second-place finisher at the Region II qualifier but will have a tough opening bout against the No. 2 seeded Kasey Ross from Wartburg. Ross has a record of 27-1 on the season, including eight technical falls and five falls and Pommells has produced a record of 27-10 going into the championship weekend.

Oneonta's LiCastri and Ryan to Compete at NCAA Championships

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Two Red Dragons from the No. 8 ranked Oneonta wrestling team are set to compete in the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island on Friday, March 14, and Saturday, March 15. Seniors Carson LiCastri (Easton, CT/Joel Barlow High School) and Jack Ryan (Trumbull, CT/) will represent the team after both qualified at the Region 2 Championships at Lycoming College on March 1 and 2.

Ryan won the 184 class at the qualifier to advance to the NCAA tournament for the third time in his career. He went 4-0 at the tournament that included a fall, tech fall, and a major to get to the final, then defeated Ithaca's Xavier Pommells in a 6-3 decision.

LiCastri earned third place at 197 pounds at regionals to qualify for the wrestling championships for the first time in his career. He dropped his opening match in the tournament then won five straight that included four pins and a 4-3 decision in the third-place match against Oswego's Anthony Cascen. LiCastri was awarded the Manuel Gorriaran Most Falls trophy for recording the most falls (4) in the tournament.

Heading into the NCAA championship, LiCastri is tied for second in Division III with 21 falls, only one behind the leader, Wilkes' 285-pound Caleb Burkhart. Ryan is tied for eighth in Division III in points per match, averaging 5.0 points per match. Junior Avery Leonard (Milford, N.Y./Milford Central) still leads Division III with 23 tech falls, two ahead of 125-pounder Joziah Fry from Johnson & Wales (RI).

Entering the national tournament, Ryan is the No. 1 seed of the 184 class. The Trumbull, Connecticut native is currently 30-1 this season with 17 falls, two tech falls and three majors. He is one of two returning All-American's competing at 184 from last year's national tournament, Castleton's Sampson Wilkins is the other who finished fourth in 2024 and is the fourth seed this year.

As a whole, the bracket has eight NCAA qualifiers from 2024, and one from 2023. Ryan's first opponent will be Remington Bauer from Baldwin Wallace. Bauer secured his first NCAA appearance with a second place finish at the Region 4 Championships with a 3-1 record and two majors. The junior earned All-OAC (Ohio Athletic Conference) honors this season and enters the tournament with a 27-8 record.

LiCastri enters the tournament unseeded in the 197 class. The Easton, Connecticut native is 39-5 this season with 21 pins, six tech falls, and four majors. LiCastri's first opponent will be the No. 8 seed, DJ Henry from TCNJ. Henry was the Region 3 winner at 197 with a 4-0 record and two tech falls. A sophomore, this is Henry's first NCAA tournament appearance with an overall record of 26-6 this season. The bracket consists of five returning All-Americans from 2024 and eight NCAA Qualifiers.
