Three Women's Wrestlers Place At Regionals

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga.- After seeing four different wrestlers advance to the second day of Regionals, Huntingdon Women's Wrestling's season has come to an end at Emmanuel University. 

In order to qualify for a spot in the national tournament, individuals must finish within the top three of their respective weight class. Jordan Epstein(5th), Angie Knepp(6th), and Aniyah Griffin(4th) each placed to conclude their overall impressive seasons, but couldn't quite meet the threshhold for national qualification. Regardless, three regional tournament placers establishes another milestone for the young program, as it ties the most regional placers in program history. With the Division III exclusive national championship starting next season, the sites are certainly set high for the Hawks. See below for Huntingdon's full 2026 Regional Tournament results.
