Four wrestlers from Pennsylvania College of Technology have been named to the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) All-Conference Teams, as announced by the league office. Junior Noah Hunt secured a spot on the first team after winning the 141-pound AMCC title on February 10. Freshmen Luke Heimbach and TJ Martin, along with junior Patrick Snoke, received second-team honors.

Hunt's achievement marks him as the first two-time all-conference wrestling selection in the Division III era for Penn College and third overall. His journey to his first career tournament title included victories over Alfred State's Richard Morales, Penn State Behrend's Jake Brown, and teammate Snoke in the final match. Hunt currently holds a 27-9 record this season and is ranked third in the Mideast Region.

Patrick Snoke reached the championship final in the 141-pound category by defeating Hiram's Will Broadbeck and Alfred State's Dominick Vinci. Vinci was ranked seventh in the Mideast Region at that time. Snoke joins Hunt as a two-time all-conference selection after previously earning ECWC honors at 133 pounds last year.

Freshman Luke Heimbach earned his place on the all-conference team by quickly dispatching Uriah Morris of Pitt-Bradford with a pin in just 38 seconds during their quarterfinal match. He then secured a narrow victory over Zach Dillinger from Penn State Behrend to reach the finals of his weight class, finishing his freshman season with a 19-18 record.

TJ Martin also made an impressive debut by earning all-conference recognition at 149 pounds. In both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches, he prevented opponents from advancing past the first period, including scoring a technical fall against Michael Ruiz of Penn State Behrend and pinning Ray Worsen from Pitt-Bradford. Although Martin lost narrowly to Peyton Hearn of Penn State Behrend in the championship final, he concluded his rookie season ranked seventh in the Mideast Region.
