MOUNT VERNON – Cornell's wrestling team fielded placewinners in eight weight classes and landed a pair of finalists in taking third at the nine-team Cliff Keen-Mike Duroe Invitational Saturday inside the Small Sport Center Arena.
 
The Rams racked up 130 team points, the most at their annual home tournament since 2017 (148 points). Augsburg claimed the team title with 186 points, followed by Luther with 155.
 
Cornell's two returning all-Americans – seniors Killian Perrigon at 157 pounds and Casey Allen at 165 – both finished runner-up in their respective brackets to guide the Rams, who had 15 individuals place in the top eight.
 
The top-seeded and 14th-ranked Perrigon (21-9) lost by fall in 4:09 to Dubuque's Zarik Anderson in the 157-pound championship bout. Perrigon opened his day with pins in 1:11 and 5:28.
 
The 13th-ranked Allen (23-6) cruised to the 165-pound finals with a quick fall in 1:21 and two decisions, 8-1 and 5-0. Allen was pinned in 1:53 by UW-La Crosse's fifth-ranked Seth Brossard in the title match.
 
Cornell received strong third-place efforts from junior Evan Husko (22-12) at 133, freshman Dahson DeJong (17-11) at 174 and freshman Cael McLaren (25-8) at 184. All three Rams went 4-1 on the day.
 
Husko beat Augsburg's Kieler Carlson, 8-2, in his third-place match. DeJong won his place match with a hard-fought 8-6 victory over UW-La Crosse's Wyatt Simon. McLaren also impressed with three falls in his CKMD debut, capped by a pin in 2:28 over Dubuque's Kurtis Modlin for third place.
 
Senior Keegan Schultschik finished fourth with a 5-2 record at 141. Gabe Carter (4-2 at 157), Colin Honderd (2-2 at 184) and Treyten Steffen (3-3 at 197) all placed fifth.
 
The Rams got sixth-place finishes from Klayton Keller (149) and Cory Stewart (157). Kyler Henderson (141) and Spencer Roth (165) both placed seventh. Jacob Sherzer (174) and Joseph Pasquesi (184) both took eighth.
