Glad you brought this up. Makes qualifying or AA’ing at D3, D2, or D1 all that more impressive for those that graduated high school in 2021 or after. They have had to deal with this extra Covid year their entire college careers if they were not red-shirted.

Looks like a total of six (6) D3 wrestlers from Indiana high schools punched their tickets to Roanoke, VA for next week/end’s D3 National Championships. Here they are with some extra details: Evan Burge 141# SR Wabash McCutcheon High School Central Regionals - 3rd Place Jake Burford 149# SR UW - Whitewater Crown Point High School Upper Midwest Regional - 2nd Place Kristian Rumph 149# SR Wartburg Portage High School Lower Midwest Regional - 1st Place Cole Cervantes 165# SR North Central Griffith High School Lower Midwest Regional - 2nd Place Gavin Layman 184# SO Ohio Northern University Chesterton High School Central Regional - 2nd Place Jack Heldt 285# SR Wabash Carmel High School Central Regional - 1st Place Congrats & Good luck!!!

This past weekend @ Pete Willson Invite (Wheaton, IL): 32 - D3 Teams 149 # SR Jake Burford (Crown Point) - Wisconsin-Whitewater - 1st place 184 # SO Gavin Layman (Chesterton) - Ohio Northern - 3rd place

11/19 - Lindenwood Open Evan Bates 197# Northwestern went 3-2 took 4th 11/19 - Olivet Comet Duals - Olivet Michigan Gavin Layman 184# Ohio Northern went 4-0 (currently 11-1 on the year) Both Chesterton graduates

Very sorry to hear this news a few days ago. Seemed like Will was part of the Chesterton Team during the offseason - hanging with our group of Seniors that graduated this year @ many tournaments. He was a pleasure to be around and will definitely be remembered. Chesterton Wrestling sends Prayers to his family.

Same problem happened to me. I had 4 tickets que’d up in my cart, then they disappeared, tried adding more tickets and it said I exceeded my limit, so I could only buy 2. Went in later to buy 2 more and it looked like it was going to do the transaction and then said limit exceeded - transaction cancelled....

Chesterton just had a very impressive 7 SS Champs. Could this be a record? Just curious......

Great write-up Tyson! Appreciate your thoughts and well written reviews. Just make sure your gettin’ that homework completed on time.

With 2 of the state’s top teams in the mix here, there should be quite a few exciting CP and Chesterton match-ups both in the semi’s and the finals. There are also quite a few other very good wrestlers in the mix here. Let’s hear some thoughts/predictions on how things might play out...
