Two competitors from each of the 10 weight classes were invited to take part in this national event that in years past has featured wrestling greats such as Cael Sanderson and Dan Gable. Gavin (Factoryville, Pa./Lackawanna Trail) will represent the 174-pound class and square off against Matt Stolpinski of Navy.
Gavin's invitation makes him the third Panther wrestler in the program's storied history to garner such an honor and the first since 1996 when J.J. Fasnacht traveled to Iowa City, Iowa.
Two-time national champion Pat Santoro was the other Pitt wrestler to take part in the Classic, as he competed three times in his career from 1987-89.
