DANVILLE, Va. - The Apprentice School men's wrestling program wrapped up their second event of the year Sunday at the Cougar Open with Matthew Henson and David McElravy, Jr. each earning second place finishes to lead the way for the Builders.

Henson started his road to the podium at 184 with a 4-1 decision win over Allen's Jerrel Baskings before a 4-2 win over Bluefield State's Aiden Santos in the quarterfinals. Henson then got a medical forfeit in the semifinals to earn his second place finish.

McElravy got a forfeit win in the first match of the 197 bracket before a major decision win of 13-4 over West Virginia Tech's Jay Jones. He followed that up with a 2:43 pin of Averett's Jacob Jiminez before a 7-2 win over Emory & Henry's Evan Alger in the semifinals. McElravy fought hard against Roanoke's Cam Cavins in the championship match, but ultimately fell in a close 4-2 decision.
