Coy Bastian (160 pounds) and Nate Schon (285) each won district titles to lead the Seals, who finished third in the eight-team field with 149 points, three behind Clearfield.
Schon's title at heavyweight was the Iowa State-bound wrestlers fourth district title - the first Selinsgrove wrestler to win four district titles.
Selinsgrove went 4-1 in second-place matches to finish with six qualifiers. Ryan Gavason (113), Aiden Gaugler (132) and Ryan Aument (215) all bounced back after losing the championship bout to win the second-place match. Steven Miller won the third-place match and second-place match at 189.
The matches for true second occurred if the loser of the championship bout had not faced the winner of the third-place bout earlier in the tournament.
Bastian, a senior, needed only 1:34 to pin his semifinal opponent in the Seals’ first match of the day. He followed that with a 15-5 major decision win over DuBois’ Ryan Gildersleeve to win his third career district title.
Schon defeated Shikellamy’s Blake VanKirk by technical fall in the semifinals, and pinned Clearfield’s Oliver Billote in the second period to claim the title. Billote entered the match as the No. 2-ranked Class 3A wrestler at heavyweight behind Schon, and had just one loss.
Gavason received a bye all the way to the finals, but was pinned in his first match of the day. In the second-place match, he beat Bradford’s Devan Poe by 11-5 decision.
Gaugler won his semifinal by technical fall, and lost by decision in the final. He rebounded with a 3-0 decision win over Bradford’s Brett Thompson to place second.
Aument topped Shikellamy’s Adam Young in an ultimate tiebreak, winning by 3-2 decision in the semifinals. After a major decision loss in the final, he beat DuBois’ Zach Gallagher by 3-0 decision.
Miller started his day with a pin in 1:04 in the quarterfinals, but lost by decision to eventual champion Waylon Wehler of St. Marys in the semifinal. Miller then needed only 26 seconds to pin his opponent in the consolation semifinals to reach the third-place match.
Miller pinned Punxsutawney’s Josh Miller in the second period to set up the second-place match against Clearfield’s Hayden Kovalick. Miller won his second straight bout by second-period fall to extend his season.
