Joy Breaks D1 State Takedown Record
Joy secured 5 takedowns in the 150-pound finals bout at the Maumee Bay Classic to surpass Gio DiSabato of Hilliard Davidson as the all-time division 1 career takedown record holder. DiSabato set the record with 794 takedowns in 2018.
Joy now has 796 career takedowns and counting. He currently sits in 12th place all-time across all OHSAA wrestling divisions. (view the full list here)
Fun Fact– Joy is such a prolific scorer that he had more tech falls last season than all of the heavyweights in the state of Ohio combined.
