En route to the final match, Rivera had two straight top-5 wins as he took down #3 Lachlan McNeil in the quarterfinal before downing #4 Jacob Frost in the semifinal.
Whalen's weekend in Vegas saw the junior get two tech falls and a major as he worked back from a semifinal loss to take third place.
Six Tigers placed at the Patriot Open. Drew Heethuis, Gavin Hawk, and Sebastian Garibaldi all claimed fourth place, while Dale O'Blia, Chris Martino and Rocco Camillaci all claimed sixth.
In duals, the Tigers are 1-3 on the season with the lone win a 24-9 victory over Appalachian State.
The Tigers opened the season dropping a razor-thin dual with #19 Pitt, losing 20-19 after losing the heavyweight match. First year Matthew Martino earned a ranked win in his collegiate debut, while Kole Mulhauser opened the dual season with a pin.
Mulhauser and Marc-Anthony McGowan also had big performances in Princeton's dual against Northwestern, as both earned tech falls on the day. Despite winning four matches, the Tigers fell 21-19.
Princeton boasted five NCAA qualifiers in 2025, with four returning this year in McGowan, Rivera, Whalen and Mulhauser.
