SLIPPERY ROCK — Slippery Rock junior Zac Turberville has two rules he lives by in wrestling.

"Embrace the grind and never be satisfied," the 160-pounder said prior to a recent practice.

Holding himself to that standard has led to an impressive varsity career. His 83-24 overall record includes a 28-4 effort this season while adapting on the mat.

"At the junior high level, a lot of wrestlers have a good bit of flexibility and can use it through the first couple years of varsity," Slippery Rock coach Denton Zeronas said. "Zac was still pretty flexible last year but has learned to rely more on his growing strength this season."
