The lower Midwest regional with Loras, Wartburg, Coe, Milikin, etc is loaded, but it’s almost always like that. Former Hawk Rathbun will be looking to avenge a loss to Everson from Loras.
157 looks to be a good one with Cannone from Wartburg (ranked first, returning national champ at 149.) Brandon Murray from Loras (ranked 5th, high NAIA placer). Bradan Birt from Milikin (ranked 7th, placed 7th last year, and 2017 Iowa state champ at 132.) And to
round it off Cole Erickson from Coe (ranked #10, 2x AA, and 4x placer from Mediapolis.)
197 will be another good one to watch with two returning all Americans with Jennings from Milikin and 2x AA Patron from Loras. Two other top ten wrestlers in Mehman and Vittal from Coe and North Central. Along with those guys Kobe Woods from Wartburg hasn’t wrestled the best this year but he is a transfer from Purdue who appeared in some duals tomorrow.
It will be a real fun day Saturday and Sunday and will have some real good wrestling.
