The fifth Burlington County Open will be held Friday and Saturday at Lenape High School.

Below are some of the top storylines from the tournament as well as the schedule, defending champions and seeds.

Who will win the team title?

There’s been three winners of the team championship in the four years of the tournament. Rancocas Valley snuck out the first crown, Seneca went back-to-back, then Lenape won in its home gym last year.

Rancocas Valley and Seneca would appear to be the favorites.

Who will win MOW?

Delran’s Drew Roskos won the award the first three years, while Cinnaminson’s Dominic Marino took home the honors last season. Marino is back – and is undefeated at 138 pounds – though Delran’s Jackson Weller is the best wrestler in the field. The 150-pounder could face undefeated Joseph Hartz of Bordentown in the final and that could give him the honor – or a low seed could swoop in and win it out from under both of them.

Can Ben Hoffman come full circle?

The Delran senior captured the title in a 13-11 overtime thriller as a freshman but hasn’t been able to repeat the last two years. He’ll be looking for his second title this year as the No. 2 seed at 157 pounds, the same weight he won at three years ago.

Can Thiago Maldonado earn a third title?

Rancocas Valley’s Thiago Maldonado has won county titles the last two years and along with Weller can become a three-time champ. Maldonado has some work to do though as only the No. 4 seed at 144 pounds.

What’s the best weight class?

Tough call but 113 has a case with undefeated freshman Danny Finelli as the No. 1 seed with Northern Burlington’s Chase Milton and Chase Dubuque the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. At 165 pounds, Riverside’s Eduardo Oliviera should get a…
