York PA's BEST College Wrestlers
by NCAA Division (I, II, III)



Then, There Were Three...!
LLOYD, LUCKENBAUGH & SMITH




Division I...
BRAD LLOYD



Brad Lloyd
Brad Lloyd (Red Lion HS) (Lock Haven University)
(146-25-2)
3-time NCAA DI All-American ('89, '88, '86)
3-time PSAC Champion & EWL Champion
PWCA PA Wrestling Hall of Fame

 


              Red Lion's Brad Lloyd (LHU) - bio

                     
             1988-89 (L-R) LHU's Craig Corbin & Brad Lloyd.

                  
Red Lion alumnus Brad Lloyd was a 3-time PSAC champion, EWL champion
            in '89 and a 3-time NCAA Division I All-American Wrestler ('86, '88, '89)...
            for the Lock Haven University Bald Eagles.  Brad Lloyd is featured on practically

            all Lock Haven University Wrestling Records.  Brad Lloyd had a career record
            of 146-25-2 at LHU with 44 falls and 28 technical falls!!  Brad Lloyd lost to
            Oklahoma State's Chris Barnes, 1-1, 2-2, "criteria 3" in the finals of the 1989
            NCAA's in Oklahoma City.  Brad was seeded #1 in 1989 NCAA's.  In addition to
           
his NCAA DI 2nd place finish in '89, Brad also placed 3rd in '88 & 7th in '86.
                   (Brad wrestled for Head Coach Neil W. Turner @ Lock Haven University)
            Red Lion's/LHU's Brad Lloyd is in the EWL Hall of Fame, and in my opinion is
            the BEST NCAA Division I College Wrestler ever from York County!
  A close
            second would be York Suburban/York Vo-Tech - West Virginia's Mark Banks,
            a 2-time EWL champion...who placed 5th twice for West Virginia University
            at the NCAA's - in '90 & '91... earning consecutive DI All-American honors.
