The Virginia Tech Hokies Pick Up Two ACC Championships

Mekhi Lewis (174 lbs.) and Caleb Henson (149 lbs.) both won ACC Championships, for their respective weight classes, this past weekend during the 2023 ACC Wrestling Championships held at Raleigh, NC. Lewis’ championship represents his third ACC crown and his second at 174 pounds. His first was at 165 pounds during the 2019 conference championship. True freshmen phenom, Caleb Henson, set his personal performance bar high, winning the 149-pound title during his first ever appearance at the ACC Championship. Henson and Lewis both entered the championship tournament as the top seed for their weight class. Devin Carter, way back in 2011, was the last Hokie grappler to grab an ACC wrestling title, as a true freshman.
