Myles Tornetta Wrestling

Great Valley senior wrestling standout Myles Tornetta has decided to continue his education and wrestling at nearby Ursinus College in Collegeville.
Tornetta picked Ursinus over King’s and Millersville. He will wrestle in the 184-pound weight class after a 30-plus win season with the Patriots, where he wrestled for his father, Joe Tornetta, a former standout at Phoenixville Area High School who announced his retirement from wrestling coaching at the end of the campaign. Tornetta advanced to the Southeastern Regional level in Class AAA. The Tornetta family resides in Kimberton.
Ursinus has one of the top Division III wrestling programs in the country under head coach Bill Racich, a teacher at Spring-Ford Area High School. Tornetta will join Owen J. Roberts product Connor McCormick on the Bears’ roster.
Myles Tornetta also starred in football as a nose guard on defense for Great Valley, which qualified for the District 1 Class AAA playoffs under coach Gary Phillips.
Racich is among the college coaches who try to attract top local talent to their athletic programs. They seek out the best student-athletes and they have found one in Myles Tornetta.
