Bloomsburg Athletics

Competing in the 149-pound bracket at the 2018 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on Saturday afternoon at Kutztown University, redshirt junior Grant Bond won all four of his matches - all by bonus points - to become Bloomsburg University's first PSAC individual wrestling champion since 2013. He started the afternoon by pinning Millersville's DJ Miele before upsetting second-seeded Logan McKoy of Seton Hill by technical fall, 15-0, in the quarterfinals. He then pinned Mercyhurst's Mike Clark 24 seconds into the second period of the semifinal round to set up a title match against top-seeded Jon Ross of Lock Haven. Bond needed just 70 seconds to earn his third pin of the afternoon as he took out Ross to claim Bloomsburg's first individual title in five years. He was named Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Athlete of the Week for his efforts.
