January 09, 2026 | Wrestling

PRINCETON, N.J. – Five Tigers placed at the F&M Open on Friday, with Holden Garcia taking silver in the 174 class and four others finishing in the top six of their respective weight classes.

Chris Martino (149) and Zander Silva (165) took fourth place, Xavier Giles (184) took fifth place and Dan Jones (133) took sixth.

How It Happened
Garcia started the day with an 8-0 major decision over Brown's Connor O'donnell (Brown), before moving on to get a tech over Kent State's Ethan Barr in 4:27 in the round of 32.

In the round of 16, Garcia battled out a 4-2 decision over Lehigh's Dominic Federici, before adding another major decision against UNC's Collin Carrigan in the semifinals, 13-2. In the final, Garcia fell to Columbia's #30 Nick Fine.

Martino went 4-2 on the day, starting strong with a 3:13 tech fall over Logan Shugar (Sacred Heart), 15-0. Advancing on a close 9-7 decision win over Navy's Frank Antonelli, Martino powered through two more major decisions over Cam Ice (Hofstra) and Luke Geleta (Binghamton) to get to the semifinals.

There, he fell 15-3 to Penn's Kelly Dunnigan, before dropping another close decision in the third-place match to take fourth overall.

Silva went 3-2 on the day, taking three victories by decision as he charged to the semifinals. There, falling to two Virginia Tech opponents, Silva took fourth.

Giles started the day strong with a 1:18 pin over Dylan Shelton (F&M), following it up with a decision over Jack Lesher. After falling to Brian Burburija, Giles got back to work in consolation, advancing with a decision over Brown's Preston Marchessault.

Ending the day on a win, Giles took the fifth place match with a 16-5 major decision over Ronald Dimmerling (Kent State).

At 133, Jones also started with a solid 16-0 tech fall over Gavin Boland (Millersville) in just 2:39. Moving on in the bracket, he took a major and another decision before falling to Aaron Seidel (Virginia Tech). Working his way back, Jones made a 1:21 fall over Sean Logue and a 1:55 tech fall over Gauge Shipp (Hofstra) to get to the fifth place match.
