Joe Benedict of Sandy Creek has been beaten by only three wrestlers a total of five times over the past two seasons in the 195-pound weight class.
[URL='http://www.oswegonews.com/osw/central-square-sandy-creek-phoenix-to-be-represented-at-state-wrestling-championships-20170213']Absolutely dominant coming out of Section III[/URL], Benedict won by 8-0 decision, pin (2:11) and pin (:21) in his first three matches of the NYSPHSAA Division II championships at the Times Union Center in Albany on Feb. 24.

For all of his success on the mats, Benedict is better known as a terror on the football field. As a running back for the Comets, [URL='http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/sports/times-all-north-section-3-football-mvp-benedict-endured-rigors-of-successful-sandy-creek-season-20151213']Benedict won the Times All-North MVP[/URL] after setting the [URL='http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/sports/sandy-creeks-benedict-breaks-state-record-with-584-rushing-yards-against-ihc-20161007']New York State single-game rushing record with 584 rushing yards against Immaculate Heart Central in October[/URL].

Benedict wrestles because he enjoys it, first and foremost. But when his senior season comes back around, Benedict has all the motivation he could ever want.

“Football was my priority,” Benedict said. “After losing the state title, I’m kind of making wrestling my priority now. I really want to win that.”
