Ellefsen and Humphrey to Represent Team NY at Pinning Down Autism All-Star Weekend
Congratulations to Goshen junior Ryan Ellefsen and Middletown senior Joe Humphrey for being selected to represent Team NY for the 2016 Pinning Down Autism All-Star Weekend! Ellefsen, who finished 2nd at 220 in NYS this year, will wrestle at 225 while Humphrey, the 3rd place finisher at HWT in Albany, will compete at 285 for Team NY. Now in it’s 6th year, the Pinning Down Autism dual has become one of the premier post-season all-star showcases in the nation. The event takes place this Saturday, April 23 is being held on the campus of Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. Wrestling begins at 9:00 AM. All proceeds from the event go to Pinning Down Autism as well as other affiliated local charities in the Lehigh Valley area.
It is a huge honor to be selected to compete in this event! Ellefsen and Humphrey join a select group of Section 9 wrestlers who have received the nod including Kyle Diesel (2011, Minisink Valley), Josh Bonneau (2013, Minisink Valley), Dan DeCarlo (2014, Port Jervis), and Michael Racciopi (2015, Minisink Valley).
Ellefsen, Humphrey, and the rest of Team NY will take on all-star teams from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio. Team NY will be extremely competitive at this year’s event – their roster is loaded! The PA roster is just insane though! Take a look at the studs from all four teams who are scheduled to compete. A few of the weights are not listed as they are still waiting for confirmation.
