Composto, Wasilewski Earn All-America Honors at NCAA Championships

**CLEVELAND, Ohio – **The University of Pennsylvania wrestling team wrapped up the second day of the 2026 NCAA Championships on Friday night, with

CJ Composto and

Cross Wasilewski earning All-America nods.

Senior Composto (141) and sophomore Wasilewski (149) both won their blood round matchups to become Penn's first pair of All-Americans since the 2006 campaign, when current head coach

Matt Valenti and Matt Herrington landed podium finishes.

Composto went 2-1 on the day to earn the third and final All-America honor of his collegiate career. The Westfield, N.J., native opened the day by topping Penn State's #14 Braeden Davis (5-2), followed by a stunning 4-3 win over #8 Vince Vombaur (Minnesota) to secure his All-America status once again.

Wasilewski may have dropped his quarterfinal bout to Michigan #11 Lachlan McNeil, but the sophomore prevailed in the blood round, beating out Iowa State's #16 Jacob Frost thanks to a late takedown to win the match, 9-5, and garner All-America status for the first time in his collegiate career.

Up Next

Composto and Wasilewski will both wrestle for seventh place at their weights during the medal round at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 21.
