Solomon Chishko, who has not wrestled this season since suffering a fractured elbow in a preseason tournament, was listed on the Class AAA section tournament lineup sheets.
Chishko, a junior from Canon-McMillan who finished third in last year’s PIAA Championships at 138 pounds, can still pull out of the tournament prior to Saturday’s one-day section tournaments.
The addition of Chishko would be a boost for the Big Macs, who are looking for their third straight individual team tournament title. The Big Macs also have won the past two PIAA Team Tournament championships, the latest two weeks ago against Central Dauphin.
The parings for the Class AAA section tournaments will be released Wednesday.

Former U.S. cyclist Tyler Hamilton says he paid tens of thousands of dollars a year to the doctor at the heart of the Operation Puerto scandal.
Hamilton told Judge Julia Santamaria by video link that he used blood doping services about 15 times and also bought blood booster EPO, testosterone, growth hormone and insulin from defendant Eufemiano Fuentes.
Hamilton said he paid $33,000 to $40,000 for the services in 2002 and 2003. He then agreed to pay $67,000 for 2004, but was not able to complete the treatment because he tested positive for receiving someone else’s blood in September 2004.
