FAIRFAX, Va. – Two wrestlers reached the podium in their respective weight classes as the Navy wrestling team competed at the Patriot Open in Fairfax, Va., on Sunday.

Freshman Isaac Hampton led all Mids' with a fourth-place finish at 125 pounds for his first collegiate placement. Drawing a first-round bye, Hampton's day started in the round of 16 against Rider's Alex Esposito. Hampton scored a quick seven points in the opening minute with a takedown and four back points, his dominant bout continued in the second period as he recorded two takedowns to end the match with a 17-2 tech fall and advanced to the semifinals. The Newberg, Ore., native fought for his second win of the day with a tight 4-3 victory over Maryland's Tyler Garvin. The match ended in regulation tied 3-3 but a riding time point was awarded to Hampton to punch his ticket to the semifinals.

Hampton would run into Davis Motyka (PRTC) in the semifinals where he dropped his first match of the day, 13-5. In the third-place bout, Hampton met American's JJ Peace. A takedown from Peace was the key difference maker in the match as Hampton falls, 4-1.

Sophomore Zyan Hall (184) placed sixth in his respective weight class going 3-2 overall. Hall opened his day with a 9-4 loss over PRTC's Maximus Hale 9-4. Hall battled back in the consolation rounds to earn his placement winning three-straight matches by tech falls. The Marietta, Ga., native posted a high scoring 24-8 victory over unattached Nate Campbell. Hall's run continued with victories over Drexel's George Rhodes (17-2) and Gardner-Webb's Eidson Flores (19-3) to punch his ticket to the fifth-place bout.

Hall's day came to an end with a medical forfeit in the fifth-place match.
