Flo has Wabash ranked #2 on their pre-season rankings.  

Got a couple of my main guys from TheCounty at Wabash this season. Dem boys have been working hard. Not fooling us Unc. Look forward to seeing your boy kick butt this year! 
 
I got a real cool Wabash wrestling hat  for the season too! 

You D1 dudes are hard core!! My D3 athlete is sitting on my couch watching Trailer Park Boys at midterm break..he will be mowing my grass this afternoon as a workout tho, so I guess he will be working outside as well.

RTC tonight 5:30-7:00PM! 
Kyle Hatch is back in the room training with us as we prepare for the Maconaquah duals Saturday.
 

Join us tonight with special guests,
4x All-American & NAIA National Champion - Jake Sinkovics   AND
2x D3 All-American - Kyle Hatch.
Great opportunity for wrestlers of all sizes to train!
Party starts at 5:30PM!

Great room tonight! Had a special guest surprise us and pop in; 2x All-American at Wabash College, Kyle Hatch showed us a peek at his Russian tie series. Still many area wrestlers popping in to scrap from South Bend, Goshen, Elkhart, Warsaw, Plymouth, and Edwardsburg. Join the party next week!

Another great workout last night!  Thanks to Kyle Hatch for showing some sick funk to score from a Russian Tie.  Nasty stuff.
Next week will be our last RWO.  After next week, we are going to turn our attention towards preparing for the Disney Duals.
We are going to use that Kyle Ayermsan guy we found walking around Brownsburg...he won a few State Championships in Indiana, but did lose TWO times in high school - half of his losses were to my wrestler - just saying...wrestled in the Big 10...that's okay, but it's not the CCIW...

Thanks for all the kind words.  My renewed interest in wrestling started 7-8 years ago as my nephew got pretty heavy into it as a youngster.  It was also around that time that Nick Lee started making some noise before entering HS.  Unfortunately, due to concussions, my nephew no long wrestles (he did get in some varsity matches as a freshman) but my interest thanks to the Lee's, and Indiana Mat has continued to grow.  I used to got to Mater Dei matches as a kid with my dad so even though I didn't go there (he did) I  always followed them and knew some of the guys when I was in HS.  
I moved to Alabama 20+ years ago and it got away from me other than hearing from dad how MD and other Evansville schools were doing and always reading how they fared at the State Championships.  But with the lovely thing we call the internet, it has made it easy to follow schools and individual kids, so I don't just see myself as an Evansville/SW Indiana guy and have become fans of kids from all over the state.  The advent of streaming the past few years allowed someone like me (who gets back home once, maybe twice a year) to see the kids wrestle who I have read about and followed via Indiana Mat, Track Wrestling, etc.  
So this year, with some extra time on my hands, I thought i would dig into how the kids I had followed were doing in college.  In the past, the college board got little attention outside of the few IN kids making noise on the national scene and a post or three about IU and Purdue.  Maligned always did a nice job with the guys qualifying for the NCAA's etc., but my curiosity went beyond all of that and to kids wrestling and (hopefully) succeeding at all levels.  So with Track Wrestling, Intermat, the college signings page here, etc. I was able to find a ton of guys I might never had heard anything about.  It was a lot of work and took a lot of time, but it was fun!  Hopefully, with the database I put together, it will be much easier to update each year and at the point I can't keep up anymore, someone else can easily take over.  
I love how passionate fans are here on the HS board (though I could deal with a little less of the craziness) and hope that people will eventually make it a habit to check the college board regularly as well and give some attention to those guys that continue on their wrestling careers and continue to work their asses off, even if they aren't doing so at the Division I All-America honors level.
Thanks again for those that have helped and those that appreciate the effort to give some kids some due that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

Just wanted to thank @SWINfan for the effort and work back here on the college board this year. Always wondered why there didn't seem to be much happening back here since there seems to be a lot of interest on our wrestlers/teams on the HS board but then it's like they drop off the face of the earth. It's also been nice to get away from the goofinesss of the high school board at times, although that might be changing next year, amirite??? LOL. It's cool to get an update on these guys as they grind on in their careers and get some good discussion on the college scene.
So thanks, SWINfan for spearheading the effort and all you others who provided info etc.

We are back rolling this week with the Wabash College crew. Year in and year out they are a top NCAA Division 3 program, producing All-Americans and National Champs. We are excited to have them come in and show us their ways!
Come join us from 6:45pm - 8:15pm 

We had a very good team in 2017 that beat a very good Illinois team

Indiana won in 2017!

SwinFan and Maligned Rock!

I'll add that while Kyle Hatch didn't finish quite as strong as he would have liked, he did give National Champion Lucas Jeske his toughest match, losing 9-7 SV1.  
I was also impressed with Owen Doster at 133.  He didn't place but was impressive in a couple of wins and his losses were by 1 point to the 4 seed (who finished 3rd) and 2 points to the 8 seed (who finished 5th).
Those two stood out to me in addition to Schurg. 

Wabash's Darden Schurg pulled a rabbit out of a hat and won himself a National Championship tonight in Roanoake VA.  A two-time Indiana HS State Runnerup at Crown Point, Schurg was down 3-1 in the final period and tied the match via a stalling penalty point and an illegal move/hold penalty point (think it was grabbing the headgear).  Jairod James from Mt. Union got in deep on a double leg shot in sudden victory, but Sshurg rolled him through, elevator style, and came out on top for the winning takedown.  
174 lb. Final Score:
Darden Schurg 5
Jairod James 3 SV1
Congratulations Darden!

SoCon Results
141 - Nathan Boston defeated Blake Mulkey 3-2 for 3rd Place.  The SoCon has only 1 allocation at 141, so either will have to get an at large bid to make it to the NCAA Championships.  Boston has a shot, Mulkey's season should be finished.  
285 - Connor Tolley lost in the semifinal and followed that up with a win in the consolation semifinal.  Connor finished in 4th Place losing by fall.  He'll need some luck and an at large to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
EIWA Results
165 - Cael McCormick (Army/Yorktown) finished in 2nd Place and qualifies for the NCAA Championships.
174 - Brian Harvey (Army/Cathedral) finished in 5th Place and qualifies for the NCAA Championships
MAC Results
125 - Drew Hildebrandt lost the title match 5-2 to Michael McGee of Old Dominion.  With his 2nd Place finish, he qualifies for the NCAA Championships
