Kennard-Dale junior Chance Marsteller won the 170-pound title Saturday at the 2012 Powerade tournament at Canon-McMillan High School in Pittsburgh.
Chance Marsteller, Kennard-Dale wrestler
Marsteller is a two-time PIAA Class AAA state champion who has never lost a regular season match. He won the 152-pound title in 2011 and the 160-pound title last winter. Wiercioch owns two state titles: A 152-pound Class AA crown from 2010 and a 170-pound Class AAA championship from March 2012. Marsteller has moved up to the 170-pound class this year, which theoretically could make for an intriguing rematch in this year’s PIAA tournament.
Intermat ranks Marsteller as the No. 1 170-pounder in the country, with Wiercioch on his heels at No. 2.
Marsteller won the 152-pound title of the same tournament last year.

Note: A previous version of this post incorrectly listed the number of PIAA championships that Cody Wiercioch has won.
It’s Canon McMillan
This article is incorrect. Wiercioch does not own three titles he owns two state titles. He won AA Title wrestling as a Freshman for Charleroi High School at 152. He lost his Sophomore year to Travis McKillop in the regionals and states. He transferred to Canon Mcmillin his last year as a Junior and won a AAA title. Look it up.
You’re right, Hammer. I misread the PIAA bracket when looking up Wiercioch’s stats. Thanks for the heads up!
