Coach Irwin, how about a preview of Wabash wrestling by weight class?  Would be great to get a look at who's on the team (especially the Indiana boys) and who are the wrestlers to watch this year in the D3

We are very excited about this year's team. We have had excellent practices thus far and are as healthy as a team can be for this time of the year.

 

Our goal is to be the 2017 Team National Champs and we believe we can do that with the firepower that we have returning along with getting our freshmen transitioned correctly.

 

Hope to see a good crowd this Friday at our opening dual vs Manchester University at 7pm in N. Manchester, IN

We have a big test this weekend up at the Concordia Open in Wisconsin where we will see Wartburg College the defending National Champs along with a number of other ranked teams in DIII & DII.

 

Best of luck to all the teams opening up this weekend with their 1st competitions,

4 Champs and 3 Runner-ups at the Indiana Little State this past weekend. All of the Indiana schools that are DIII, DII, NAIA or Juco were in attendance except for Trine. Lots of familiar names were in the brackets.
