Bay High wrestler Matt Cover

Bay High wrestling standout Matt Cover, who just completed his senior year for the Rockets, went 4-3 to place eighth in the country in Junior Greco-Roman at 195 pounds at the USA Wrestling Nationals in Fargo, ND last month. Earlier in the week, he placed sixth in 16U Boys Freestyle to become only two wrestlers from Ohio at any weight class to earn double All-America honors at the Junior level.

Cover earned his second All-Ohio honor in March when he placed third at the OHSAA Division II State Championships at 195 pounds. He also placed third as a junior at 195 pounds and qualifying as a sophomore at 182 pounds after earning the alternate spot as a freshman at 170 pounds.

Cover will continue his academic and wrestling careers at Princeton University this fall.
