MSU-Northern

Wrestling Update


Northern won its 8th consecutive regional title and 12th over-all.  Brian Luna was named the tournament’s “Outstanding Wrestler” and Coach Ray was named the “Region Coach of The Year”.  For the most part the regional was a success with Northern winning 7 of the 10 weight classes and taking two seconds, one third and one fourth.  Emory Willson failed to qualify for the NAIA National Tournament placing 5th, in his place will be Brian Fritchman.  Fritchman will be wrestling at 184 and qualified in November but was unable to compete in the Regional Tournament this week.

 

Dustyn Azure, Aaron Jensen and Chase Gormley turned in some outstanding performances and still have not reached what they are capable of achieving.

 

The National Tournament is scheduled for March 4-5 in Sioux City, IA at the Tyson Event Center.  Northern will have to wrestle very well to place in the top three and bring home a team trophy.
