Pitt wrestler Mikey Racciato wins awards and jumps into rankings following big weekend

The Pitt wrestling team had some ups and downs this past weekend, losing to No. 10 Lehigh before winning the Keystone Classic. But the Panthers' Mikey Racciato had some matches to remember.

While the team couldn't defeat Lehigh, Racciato scored a big win, knocking off No. 8 Randy Cruz, 3-2. His weekend didn't stop there, however. After a bye to open the Keystone Classic, the 141-pounder won four consecutive matches to win his weight class. Along the way, he also beat FloWrestling's #12 ranked wrestler, Todd Preston out of Harvard. For those efforts, Racciato was named the Outstanding Wrestler of the event.
