Boyertown wrestling, Tommy Killoran earn silver

-

Another historic Boyertown wrestling season was capped by stellar performanc­es in the annual PIAA Championsh­ips. The Bears, headed by its ‘Fab Five’ of returning state qualifiers, Jordan Wood, Tommy Killoran, Gregg Harvey, Lucas Miller and Jakob Campbell, took a step forward at the PIAA Team Championsh­ips and placed second in Class AAA behind only powerhouse Bethlehem Catholic. A month later at the individual championsh­ips, the Bears sent nine qualifiers – the aforementi­oned five (save for Wood, who was unable to compete due to injury), plus JT Cooley, David Campbell, Elijah Jones, Garrett Mauger and Matt Wilde. Heavyweigh­t Killoran blazed through the PIAA Championsh­ips’ 285-pound bracket before eventually succumbing to Liberty’s Andrew Gunning, 2-1, in the title match. Killoran headlined three Boyertown medalists, joined in podium finishes by Harvey (fifth at 182) and Jakob Campbell (seventh at 113).
