Drexel sophomore Joe Booth, wrestling this year at 165 pounds, has put together an impressive season recording a career high 23 wins on his way to a second appearance in the national championships where he will represent the Dragons. Guiding Booth from the side-mat, in his final collegiate coaching appearance after 35 years, is Jack Childs.
Booth's first match, against Thomas Scotton from the University of North Carolina, is set for 11:00 a.m. Thursday. The winner moves on to face Stephen Burak from the University of Pennsylvania shortly after. The second round takes place Thursday night while quarterfinals and semifinals will be held on Friday with the final round on Saturday.
