Some of the top WPIAL alumni is recently memory have been called upon to participate in the new professional wrestling league, Real American Freestyle.

Franklin Regional graduates Nico Megaludis and Spencer Lee, along with Kittanning's Jason Nolf, all lost their first match. Nolf fared much better during his second opportunity Saturday night at Fisher's Event Center in Fisher's, Ind. Nolf beat Andy Varela via technical fall, 10-0.

Nolf was a three-time NCAA champion at Penn State. He also won three Class 2A championships during his high school career at Kittanning and finished with a career record of 176-1.

Jason Nolf, a Kittanning graduate and former Penn State University wrestling standout, will attempt to be the first WPIAL wrestler to find success at a Real American Freestyle event. Franklin Regional graduates Spencer Lee and Nico Megaludis recently competed for the organization and came up short.

This will be Nolf's second attempt at picking up a win in the fledgling league. ​Nolf also competed at RAF 01, losing 10-8 to Evan Wick in a middlweight bout.

Nolf, 29, will be taking on Andy Varela, 33 in a welterweight battle at RAF 04 at Fishers Event Center in Fisher, Ind. Varela is an accomplished grappler who have five professional MMA fights under his belt.

Much like Lee and Megaludis, Nolf shined as a collegiate wrestler. During Nolf's time at Penn State, won three consecutive national NCAA Division I championships from 2016 to 2019. Nolf made a run at qualifying for U.S. wrestling team for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but was turned away by Kyle Dake.
