The University of Toronto Varsity Blues wrestling team earned four podiums at the TMU Invitational on Sunday (Nov. 8), including gold for both Josiah Mayers-Noel and Bernard Cameron.
A third-year Varsity Blues veteran, Mayers-Noel claimed the top spot in the men's 76kg. This included four straight technical fall victories over opponents from TMU, Guelph, Kingston Wrestling Club, and Alberta during the elimination rounds. Meanwhile, Cameron has made an immediate impact in his first season as a Varsity Blue winning the 100kg category. The heavyweight knocked off peers from Alberta, Central Toronto Wrestling Club, London-Western Wrestling Club, and Lakehead - all in technical fall fashion to earn the top step on the podium. Fellow first-year Sammy Serafinchev rounded out the men's podium results with a third-place finish in the 65kg event.
With 28 total points scored, the U of T men would place second overall in the team standings.
On the women's side of the draw, second-year standout Alex Lubczenko earned silver in the 68kg bracket.
The Blues will remain in Toronto for another week next competing at the York Open on Sunday, Nov. 15.
