Three wrestlers from Slippery Rock University will compete at the NCAA Division I National Championships at the Savvis Center in St. Louis beginning Thursday.

Sophomore Cory Mancuso at 157 pounds, freshman Garry Price at 165 and sophomore Charlie Pienaar at 184 won individual titles at the East Regional Championships at Duquesne University recently to qualify for the four-day national tournament.

The Rock has now sent seven wrestlers to national competition over the past two seasons - the most over a two-year span since 1982-83.

Pienaar (29-8) was named Most Outstanding Wrestler at the East Region Championships.

SRU finished second as a team at the East Regional Championships and finished its season 7-16 in dual matches.
