Biggest Upset so far in AA

In my opinion, the biggest upset of the day would have to be at the 140 lb weight class. Seth Beitz, a Senior at Juniata High School, older brother of the 2009 returning silver medalist at the 112 lb weight class Zach Beitz, won a nice decision over Phillip Steinburg of Central Cambria. Seth, a Senior at Juniata High School and the South Eastern 4th place regional qualifier, used a takedown and reversal in route to securing his 6-3 decision over Steinberg the South Western Regional Champion. Beitz will wrestle the North Eastern Third place Regional qualifier Alec Eggerton of Loyalsock in tomorrows Quarter Final round. Steinberg will drop to the first consolation round and face the South Eastern second place Regional finisher, Dillon Killian of Annville-Cleona.
