Dylan Alton used a seventh-place finish his freshman year to motivate him to reach greater heights. Three years later, it’s safe to say the strategy worked.

Alton, a Central Mountain senior and the nation’s top-ranked 152-pound wrestler, won his third consecutive state gold medal with an 11-4 decision over LaSalle’s Shane Springer for the Class AAA title on Saturday night at the PIAA Wrestling championships.

Alton and Central Dauphin senior Marshall Peppelman joined an exclusive club when each won a third career title at the Giant Center. Only 45 wrestlers in Pennsylvania history have won that many crowns, and of that group, nine are four-time champions.
