ADRIAN, Mich. – Five Gannon wrestlers placed among the top eight in their weight classes as the Golden Knights placed seventh among 30 teams at the Adrian Invitational on Sunday.
 
That solid performance came one day after Gannon went 5-0 in the Adrian Duals.
 
Jayden Bazemore (Cypress, Texas/Cypress Ranch) and Bella Phillips (Bellingham, Wash./Squalicum High School) placed fourth in their A division weight classes, while Kat Pendergrass (Bracey, Va./South Granville (N.C.)) finished seventh. Meanwhile in B division wrestling, Gannon's Kallah Zacherl (Erie, Pa./) and Christina Chavez (Chandler, Ariz./Arizona College Preparatory) each placed second in their respective classes.
 
Competing in the 124-pound division, Bazemore won by technical fall and pin to advance to the semifinals. After losing in the semifinals, she won her consolation semifinal before finishing fourth. She finished 3-2 in the tournament to improve to 7-3 on the season.
 
After losing her opening match at 180 pounds, Phillips, a freshman, won five consecutive consolation matches to advance to the third-place match. She finished 5-2 in the tournament to move her season record to 11-3.
 
Pendergrass went 5-2 at 110 pounds and claimed seventh place by virtue of medical forfeit by her opponent.
 
Zacherl won her first three matches in the 138-pound B division to advance to the finals. She recorded falls in each of those bouts before losing the first-place match.
 
Chavez won by fall and technical fall in the 180-pound B bracket to advance to the finals before registering a second-place effort.
