Jon H Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know this isn't the College message area - but nobody was talking about it so I thought I would get it going on the Highschool board. University of Indianapolis has 2 wrestlers in the championship - Alex Johns (Reitz) and J. Kieffer. They also have 3 going for 3rd including Jeff Weiss (Heritage Hills).
