Podish Freshman of Year in PSAC
From Clarion University
Clarion University freshman wrestler Clint Podish, a graduate of Waynesburg High School, was named today as the PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference)"Freshman of the Year" for his accomplishments in 2009 from a vote by the PSAC head coaches.
Podish, who wrestled at 184-pounds for the Golden Eagles this season, put together a 20-15 overall record against mostly NCAA Division I competition and notched 4 pins and 4 majors among his 20 wins. Podish also placed second at the PSAC Championships and fifth at the Eastern Wrestling League championships.
"Clint is really deserving of this honor," said Clarion head coach Teague Moore. "Clint sat out last season, worked hard on his own, dedicated himself to the sport, did it right, and now has this accomplishment because of it. I'm proud that Clint is wrestling here at Clarion. He has a bright future ahead and will have the opportunity to accomplish a lot of great things in a Clarion singlet."
Podish, an undecided major at Clarion, is the son of Bob and Diane Podish of Sycamore, Pa. Clint had a high school career record of 100-24 at Waynesburg Central and was a 2-time "Beast of the East" placewinner. He was 41-4 his senior year.
