2017 Beast Of The East Team List
The 25th annual Beast of the East will be one of the most loaded in the event's storied history.
Without fail, Beast of the East draws some of the country's best talent to the University of Delaware. For the 25th edition, Beast organizers have pulled out all the stops. Check out the full team list below.
As of now, the tournament is expected to feature top ranked wrestlers Kurt McHenry (106), Robert Howard (120), Jacori Teemer (138), David Carr (160), and Michael Beard (195). Also coming are No. 2s Julian Tagg (113), Pat Glory (120), Joey Silva (138) and Ryan Karoly (182).
Other Top-5 guys include Nick Raimo (No. 3 at 126), Julian Chlebove (No. 3 at 132), Mitch Moore (No. 3 at 138), Sammy Sasso (No. 3 at 145), Shane Griffith (No. 3 at 160), Julian Ramirez (No. 3 at 170), Ryan Anderson (No. 4 at 126), Malcolm Robinson (No. 4 at 138), and Erich Byelick (No. 4 at 170).
Traditional powerhouses Blair Academy, Lake Highland Prep, Malvern Prep, Bergen Catholic, Massillon Perry and Brecksville will all be in attendance, as well as each of the top five teams from last season's Pennsylvania AAA state tournament.
