Davidson Hoping To See Peake’s Peak During Postseason

Tanner Peake is aiming to become Davidson wrestling’s first NCAA qualifier since 2015.
According to the Davidson College wrestling schedule, Tanner Peake has about a dozen more competitions in his Wildcat wrestling career. And with a little bit of luck — to go along with the hard work this native of Flemington, N.J., has already shown — the 157-pound senior could become Davidson’s first national qualifier since 2015.
While Peake has compiled a healthy 52-32 career record as of Jan. 4, the Wildcat certainly has not enjoyed much luck when it’s come to the postseason. 
• As a true freshman in 2022-23, the two-time New Jersey state placewinner from Hunterdon Central High School set a Davidson school record of 15-4 and a second-place performance at the Southern Conference Championships and was named SoCon Freshman of the year. But he was also forced to miss a month of competition with a shoulder injury that forced him to wear a protective harness during that rookie season.
• As a sophomore, he qualified to represent Puerto Rico in the U20 World Championships but just missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships with another second-place SoCon finish.
• As a junior last year, he won eight of his first 11 bouts and was ranked in the Top 20 nationally, only to suffer a neck injury at the Southern Scuffle that eventually ended his season. And to make matters worse, the NCAA denied him a medical redshirt to compete collegiately past this winter.
